Kyoto Saga Mikami

Mikami Shrine is just a short walk from Torokko Arashiyama Station, so it is easy to fit into an Arashiyama stroll. It is a small shrine, but visitors come steadily, especially people connected to hair care and barbers. Many reviews mention that it is Japan’s only shrine dedicated to hair.

Plan a quick visit and look for the pond in front, which is said to have many lotus plants in season. You may also see the chinowa purification ring, and the shrine offers charms and goods related to combs and scissors. A goshuin can be received there, and the grounds are close to nearby sightseeing areas.
