About Kawai Shrine
The Kawai shrine is a shrine on the grounds of the Shimogamo shrine. This is a shrine of women’s patron, and there are many female worshippers. By the way, there was a place to be able to park a bicycle and a motorcycle.
It’s not such a big shrine, but the buildings and small items are so cool that I thought it was really a shrine for women.
In the precincts of the shrine, a woman’s face is decorated on ema beautifully. This is a display of the thing that was drawn using the cosmetics that a woman usually uses, and the wish is written on the back of the Ema.
