There’s a stone torii gate right in front of Shitennoji’s entrance, which is a pretty historic landmark. Torii gates ⛩ are usually placed in front of Japanese shrines or temples, and the whole hillside is filled with them. Many were donated by people who made wishes and wanted to give back ❤️. It’s also a popular photo spot.

Yudofu is one of the classic Zen vegetarian dishes in Kyoto, and it was originally eaten by temple monks. Now it's become a signature food in Arashiyama! 👍

You have to buy the LeTAO Double Fromage cheesecake when you come here! Plus, there's a free observation deck you can go up to!

During the festival, the whole street is lined with all kinds of food stalls. It's super lively!
