I was interested because the temple shares its name with the station. I spent JPY 300 to buy incense for prayers, but I don't really get the point of that.

It’s super pleasant to walk around here. The whole atmosphere is quiet and has a bit of that old Kyoto charm.
The grounds aren’t very big, but they’re clean and really photogenic. The red torii gates and traditional architecture feel especially atmospheric.
There’s also a famous grilled dango shop nearby, and strolling around while snacking is seriously the best. If you want to avoid the shrines packed with tourists, Imamiya Shrine feels really relaxing. It’s the kind of place where you can take a slow walk, snap a few photos, and leave feeling refreshed. -
According to local legend, ringing the Dragon’s Love Bell brings eternal happiness to couples. I love the scenery here and the romantic meaning behind the bell.

If you dig in the sand at the beach, you'll find natural hot springs bubbling up! There's also a free foot bath nearby where you can soak your feet. In winter, you can relax in the foot bath while watching swans that have flown in all the way from Siberia. Such a unique experience!
