About Kamigoryo Shrine
Kamigoryo Shrine is a shrine in Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto. Its history begins in 863, the age of Emperor Kanmu.
It is in the place where the municipal subway is descended at Kuramaguchi station and it enters the east a little. Although it is located in the city, it has a sense of healing like an urban oasis.
Although the site is not so wide as it is a shrine in urban areas, there is a shrine like a reduced version of a thousand Torii of Fushimiinari shrine, and there are old trees like the Tadasu Forest of the Shimogamo shrine. It is a shrine that condensed the goodness of various shrines like these.
