Demachiyanagi Kyoto Shrine

Kyoto Shrine Demachiyanagi出町柳神社

A stone's throw from the Kamo River on the Imperial Palace side is this small shrine.

It does not appear on Google maps and is but a small neighborhood shrine.

The plain cement torii gate, two lanterns, simple garden within - and requisite bike parked out front - give it a certain charm.

It sits next to a garden shop, in front of which vegetables and herbs were lined up for perusal.

The garden shop has the heady smell of soil, fertilizer, bulbs, and tools.

It fronts the west bank of the Kamo River, just north of the Demachiyanagi Bridge.
