Kinkaku-ji-michi Station
Look for the sacred cone-shaped sand mounds near the shrine buildings; they're one of Kamigamo's signature sights and easy to miss if you walk through quickly.
Allow time to walk the riverside and wooded grounds, not just the main shrine, since Kamigamo's appeal is closely tied to the Kamo River setting and nearby sacred woodland.
