At a Glance
Despite its fame, Mikane is a compact neighborhood shrine in Kyoto's Nakagyo Ward rather than a large temple complex.
The shrine's golden torii gate is painted with specially developed paint that never fades outdoors, created by a local Kyoto company specifically to maintain its brilliant shine year-round.

Look for the distinctive golden torii gate to spot Mikane quickly; it's a compact neighborhood shrine in Kyoto's Nakagyo Ward.
The shrine office is only open from 10:00am to 4:00pm for purchasing amulets and special items like the gold-foil Fukuzutsumi Mamori and the rare Dai Dai Kichi fortune slip, though the shrine grounds remain accessible 24/7 for worship.
At the chozuya purification fountain, you'll find wicker baskets where visitors place coins (typically 5 yen) to purify their money before offering it to the gods, a unique ritual specific to this financial prosperity shrine.
Visit during late autumn to request real ginkgo leaves from the sacred 200-year-old tree at the back of the precincts, as the leaves are considered symbols of infinite good fortune and prosperity in Japanese folklore.
Plan your visit for the last weekend in September to experience the annual reitai-sai festival featuring a children's procession, mikoshi parade, food stalls, and a lucky draw that brings the neighborhood community together.
