Kamo-kaido
Kamo-kaido runs about 7 km along the western banks of Kamo River from the north to the west. Two World Heritage sites wrapped in verdant nature - Shimogamo Jinja and Kamigamo Jinja - are located along this street. The history of these shrines is older than that of the ancient capital, Heiankyo, itself. Each shrine conducts rituals and ceremonies throughout the year. The most famous of these is the Aoi Matsuri held on May 15.
The festival's highlight is the parade of more than 500 people dressed in splendid noble costumes worn during the Heian dynasty. The shrine environs also have much for visitors to enjoy, such as a famous restaurant serving Kyoto cuisine, botanical gardens, and a cafe where you can try your hand at pottery.
Enjoy this trip along Kamo-kaido.
