This is a place where cultural heritage is more than tourist attraction. The place is relatively small compare to all other attractions near by or in Kyoto area. You can finish this place within 5 min. Therefore do not expect great views or austonishing experience, if you are not so into the cultural experience.
On the other hand this place is very traditional and is not commercialized as other attractions. You can experience the most authentic essence of Japanese culture here.

It's one of the oldest temples or Jinja in Japan, maybe from the look of this place is not really impressive, but from a historical point of view, it's a place you don't want to miss.
It's already been listed as a world heritage site and please do not smoke or play with fire while you are near this temple.

Really lovely temple set in a small forest. All you hear is nature. Hardly any tourists here too, so you can enjoy this place in peace.
