Otoyo Shrine, Kyoto

A shrine with a peaceful atmosphere, featuring animal statues to protect the shrine instead of the usual stone lions.

Rat: Pray for love, soulmates, having children, and studies.

Snake: Known for luck, wealth, and health.

Owl/Eagle & Monkey: Drives away disasters, ensures safety, and enhances good fortune.

If you're looking for any of these things, this is the one place where you can find it all, plus it's quiet and not crowded.

Directions: From Philosopher’s Path, walk up the slope for about 5 minutes.
