[2025 Kyoto Attraction] Travel Guide for Mikami Shrine (Updated Aug)

My dears🥰 We found some treasures on this trip to Kyoto! I went to the Mikado Shrine in Arashiyama on purpose. It is the only shrine in Japan that protects hair. The shrine is not big, but it is very popular. As soon as you enter, you can feel the atmosphere of full prayer for hair. I got a super exquisite amulet, which is so beautiful in person~ The Fukuhashi I asked for is super interesting, with small scissors and a small comb inside, and it only costs 1,000 yen (remember to bring cash, you can only use cash to buy amulets at the shrine~). It is very suitable to hang it on a mobile phone, bag, or even a hair dryer. It feels like my hair has its own little bodyguard from now on💪. The surroundings here are also very cute. I saw many Tony teachers coming here to pray for career luck, and some people even prayed for their dogs to stop shedding. It was so sweet! When I left, I found that the staff was actually a bit bald, which was inexplicably funny and sad 😂. 📍Address: 10 Saga Kokurayama Tabuchiyama-cho, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture. Opening hours are 9:00-16:00. The transportation is also convenient. Take the Arashiyama train to Arashiyama Station and walk through the bamboo forest path. The surrounding environment is super quiet. I hope this amulet can bless me with abundant hair and prevent me from losing hair 🙏 . If you are worried about hair loss or want to pray for good hair, you must come here to check in! #kyototravel #gohajinja #haircareamulet #japaneseshrine #tokyoattractions

Mikami Shrine, a shrine to the hair god in Arashiyama, Kyoto Mikagami Shrine is the only shrine in Japan that enshrines the hair god. Arashiyama has many attractive tourist spots such as the Togetsukyo Bridge, the Bamboo Forest Path, Nonomiya Shrine, famous for matchmaking, the Monkey Park, and the trolley train, so there are few media outlets that cover Mikami Shrine, and it seems that there are not many opportunities to learn about it. This time, I noticed that there is a shrine just after getting off at the Arashiyama Torocco Station, so I went to check it out. It was interesting to see that among the votive plaques of students praying for success in national qualification exams, there were many votive plaques of comedians who must have visited on location. 📍Location: 10-2 Tabuchiyamacho, Saga Ogurayama, Ukyo Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture Access Get off at Torokko Arashiyama Station on the Saga Scenic Railway.
