Kamigamo Shrine / Kyoto
It is the oldest shrine in Kyoto. The vermilion tower gate shines well against the blue sky. The official name is Kamobetsu Raijinja Shrine, and it is a shrine dedicated to Kamobetsu Raijinja. According to my research, Betsuraijin means "a god who is powerful enough to separate lightning" and has been worshipped since ancient times as a god of evil, calamity, and victory. This was my first time visiting in the summer.
