今天天氣很好、從三條河原町做公車205、行經七站、到新葵橋下車、往前走幾分鐘、過個馬路就到了！世界遺產的下鴨神社、是很值得造訪的！從一開始入門的河合神社有守護女性、日本第一美麗女神，可以在這邊喝一杯500日幣的美人水... 往前走左右兩條路都到下鴨神社、可以選擇一去一回、光是在滿佈樹蔭的路上行走、心情就很舒暢！今天還看了好幾對來舉行婚禮儀式的新郎和新娘！蠻有意思的！（婚禮儀式、申請、費用10萬日元）要提醒女性朋友、這邊的洗手間是不提供免費衛生紙、裡面有設置機器可以購買紙巾！千萬不要忘了帶錢進去購買或自備衛生紙喔！

京都車站巴士站的A2搭4、205號公車即可直達。下鴨神社有2個入口，「下鴨神社前」下車的話非常近，一進去就到神社了。但我個人會推薦在前一站「糺ノ森前」下車，可以悠閒漫步在森林中慢慢來到神社鳥居前再進到殿內。公車車票不論去哪均一價都是230圓，IC卡或手機內建都可通，很方便。如果當天有排其他行程的話可以算一下建議可買一日乘車券比較划算。這裡非常幽靜，心裡會跟著平靜下來。不論帶家人或獨自前來都很適合。除了大家喜歡的四季御守，我覺得烏羽守和水占卜也很有特色。9/17會開始販售中秋特別御守，供最近要去的大家參考。
