Himukai Daijingu is a Kyoto location which includes nature, history, and folklore. In this guide we'll find one of the most interesting, and scenic shrines in Kyoto, but also one that doesn't suffer from the over-crowding that occurs at some of the more city central shrines and temples. This walking guide route takes you into nature, delves in to folklore, and also into the time of major modernization and industrialization of Japan, the Meiji Era. We'll also see the site of a bloody samurai battle! It is conveniently accessible from Kyoto centre, but also connects to the scenic hiking route, The Kyoto Trail, should the more adventurous visitor wish to extend their route in that direction. It's the Kyoto that most visitors don't see.
