Not all temples and shrines in Kyoto are big and beautiful. Some are small and poor but still loved by the locals. Gosho Hachimangu Shrine is like that. I would never have visited except for the fact that it is right next door to the hotel I was staying at, the Hotel Gimmond. Even then, I walked right past it a few times before even noticing it. Then I did, went in and looked around, and found that even small, poor shrines have flashes of beauty in them. People come here to pray for the health of their children and for smooth deliveries.
