Take the city bus from Kyoto Station, get off in front of Shimogamo Shrine, and arrive at Shimogamo Shrine immediately.
The Hinamatsuri at Shimogamo Shrine is a Shinto ritual in which the dolls "Sandawara" placed on woven straw are poured into the Mitarashi River, which flows through the precincts, and pray for the safety of children.
It will be held from 10:00 on 3/3 according to the following schedule.
10:00 Reception for Hina dolls begins
10:30 Prayer begins
11:00 Ceremony of shedding chicks by the inner lining and chicks in Heian
