Why You Should Visit

Kyoto's biggest bread festival, held for two days only in the grounds of Kamigamo Shrine, a World Heritage site. It began in 2015 to mark the shrine's once-in-21-years rebuilding rite; this is the 10th edition, with some 360,000 visitors to date. Twenty-two stalls, mostly hotels and bakeries from Kyoto, the self-styled "city of bread", sell event-only breads: pastries from the Four Seasons and Westin Miyako, a hamburger sandwich from an old Arashiyama butcher, curry bread with Iki beef from Nagasaki. Hours are an hour longer this year, running to 16:00. Free to enter; a good fit if you want a shrine visit and a bread crawl in one trip.
