Good fortune

I went to Kibune & Kurama area(north part of Kyoto).

It took about 1.5 hour from J-Hoppers by bike.



I recommend you Kibune Shrine especialy Mizuura-Mikuji(
水占みくじ)


=Mizuura- Mikuji=

When it is set afloat on the waters of the spring, the result stands out.

↑holy spring water


Of course I tried it(←200 yen)!!

before and after


Yes ! I got a good fortune(中吉←this is the 2nd place)!!

Someone said that this mysterious phenomenon happens only with the holy water....





Also I recommend you Kurama temple ,too.

Jun 20th START : 14:00, they have a big event of Jun(← I think this is the Highlight of Jun).


=Takekirie-Shiki(Bamboo cutting riual)=

Very old ritual with more than 1000 years history.

Two teams of four priests compete in cutting bamboo into four pieces.

Green bamboo represent a snake as a symbol danger.


Don't miss the EVENT !!
