This shrine represents everything beautiful about the Japanese aesthetic. Simple, pure and inspiring. As uplifting as a cathedral, but tucked into a rock garden, surrounded by Japanese maples and a stream

Quite small but very peaceful shrine.

Small and a bit underwhelming. But the rabbit is kinda cute. If you want merchandise, they have cute rabbit charms here.

It's a really small complex, and although it consists of some UNESCO World Heritage-recognised buildings, it wasn't particularly interesting unless you really enjoy and appreciate the difference in architecture from the different style between all the periods of Japan. Then again, the place is free to visit for all, and is not too far away from another World Heritage Site, Byodoin, so go ahead and check out this shrine, which is designated as the guardian shrine of Byodoin.
