They charged 500 yen just for the access to the platform which houses this dragon art. Exquisite, but what a price. 300 yen I can be fine with. Asked for the temple stamp. I had my proper book with me, stood in line too. Two ladies on front of me had theirs written by hand. By the time it was my turn, the lady in charge told me that because the line was getting longer, I will get the one written in advance and whether I will be ok with that. By that time my mood was already pretty sour because of the dragon ceiling ticket price and also because they were already out of most things, including the dragon omikuji I was after. I couldn't give any damn and said FINE. Good thing it was only 300 yen! PS: the long line she was talking about was FIVE people... FIVE!

I visited Takio Shrine (瀧尾神社), a modest Shinto shrine located in Kyoto. One of its highlights is a remarkable wooden dragon sculpture, which is displayed only once every 12 years during the Year of the Dragon. This sculpture is found on the ceiling of the main hall. The shrine is easy to access and is a worthwhile stop for visitors to Kyoto.

2024.01 （はじめに･･･12年に1度の時期です。普段も記載通りとは限りません）駐車場はないのでコインパーキングになるが普段は不明。こういうかき入れ時はやはりコインパーキングが荒稼げる。そしてやはり長蛇の列という。しかし神頼みしても元旦に起こるは大地震･･･。本殿でシャンシャンする列と龍の彫刻を見る列の２つに分かれているので注意！本殿の方がたくさん並んでいる。シャンシャンする方は入場料は要らないが、龍の彫刻を見るのは1人500円必要。1000人並ぶとそれだけで50万円の売り上げ。たった1日で。だいたい正月休みの連休勢が多いので10日間実施するとそれだけで500万円の売り上げ。まいどあり。しかも電気代というエネルギー系の経費も一切かからず、即金直ゲットなのがえぐい。 12年に１度しか開帳されていない･･らしいが、厳密に言えば定期的なメンテナンスや掃除も必要なので、1か月に1度程は掃除のオジさんに見られているのだろう。これがどんなものかはネットで散々挙げられまくっているまさにその通り。天井の木彫りの龍が、真ん中にドラゴンボールを抱えている。そのドラゴンボールの力で地震をなくしておくれ。なおシャンシャンする方の列で並んでいても、龍の彫刻の建物の近くに来ればしゃがみこめば見えるという。なんだそりゃ･･500円払う意味あるのか。辰年だけに腹タツわ～。総合的には☆2.2～2.4か。

One of the many hidden gems in Kyoto. From the unique wooden dragon sculpture of the ceiling to the various festivals and celebrations hosted by the shrine, it's definitely a must for those who want to experience...
