Kamo Wakeikazuchi Shrine, World Heritage. The sand cones and the Tamabashi. A pair with Shimogamo on a north day — Ohara is another day.
Best time
Morning after the gates open. New Year and festivals are separate.
How to go
City bus or subway “北大路”. Tap ICOCA or PiTaPa. A city-bus day pass is bus only — not subway or JR.
