Whatever the religion or whoever they're devoted to, shrines have a way of making you reflect. Check out Akanomiya Shrine and share a quiet moment with the local faithful.
Situated in Sakyo Ward, this sacred place is well worth including on your itinerary. But you'll find a great deal more to see and do in the area. Kiyomizu Temple, Nijō Castle, and Kyoto Imperial Palace aren't too far from Akanomiya Shrine.
