At the Higashi Tenno Okazaki Shrine you will find several statues of rabbits, as well as cute lucky charms of this animal, considered a symbol of fertility.

The shrine was founded in 794 during the construction of Heian-kyô, as one of four shrines representing compass directions. Okazaki represented the East, and at that time was alternatively known as Higashi-tennô (Emperor of the East).

The shrine is dedicated to Susanoo, Kushinada-hime and their three daughters and five sons. It has become a place of worship for over 1,200 years, especially for pregnant women who want a smooth, uneventful delivery and that their children be born in perfect health.

The Okazaki area is surrounded by many trees, so it is a pleasant destination for anyone who wants to visit a quiet and cozy place with an atmosphere reminiscent of times gone by.

These days, Okazaki Shrine has become a popular place to celebrate traditional Shinto wedding ceremonies. There is an area adjacent to the shrine called the Heian-no-Mori Hotel which is a favorite place for wedding parties.

Very close to the center of Kyoto is Gion, Japan's main geisha district. For those who don't know, geisha are women who dedicate themselves to the arts and to the preservation of Japanese culture, being trained from an early age in the most varied skills, such as singing, dancing, origami elaboration and etiquette. Although they are confused with luxury prostitutes, as a rule, geisha only offer their cultured and pleasant company at parties and social events, when they exercise the art of good conversation.

Although you can find many women dressed in typical clothes throughout Japan, it is in Kyoto (and, more precisely, in the Gion district) that you will have the most chance of seeing a real geisha (or a maiko, who is an apprentice geisha). , with perfect makeup, sculptural hair and luxurious kimonos.

Arashiyama Bamboo Grove

One of the most visited and photographed places in Kyoto, the grove is actually a large bamboo plantation that has a little path in the middle where tourists can walk. The trail between the bamboos is around 200 meters long, which is why it tends to get quite crowded with people.

The famous bamboo forest is one of the main tourist attractions in Kyoto, Japan. Sagano Bamboo Forest is located in Arashiyama, which in itself is a scenic beauty and a must on the itinerary of tourists from all over Japan and different countries around the world.

The bamboo grove covers an area of 16 square kilometers. It is one of the most beautiful natural environments in all of Japan, not only because of its natural beauty, but also because of the sound the wind makes when it blows through the dense bamboo grove.

A interesting curiosity occurred around the 1870s, when the inventor Thomas Edison was looking for a good bamboo as material to make the filament of his lamp, the governor of Kyoto recommended two sources of bamboo and Edison used one of them.
