Kinkakuji Temple(Golden Pavilion)
Kinkaku-ji is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Kyoto and is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Originally, it was the residence of a nobleman named Saionji Kintsune during the Kamakura period. However, due to a decline in his political power, he was forced to give up the land. In the Muromachi period, the third shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu carried out extensive renovations to turn it into his villa, which later became known as Kinkaku-ji.
In Inu-Oh, this is the stage for the musical number 'Ryū no Shōjō'. It might be fun to walk around while imagining from where Inu-Oh’s performance would have looked the most beautiful.

Imamiya Shrine Aburi-mochi
On both sides of the approach to Imamiya Shrine, there are shops where you can enjoy aburi mochi (grilled rice cakes). Please note that both of the aburi mochi shops are closed on Wednesdays. Another sacred site, Kinkaku-ji (the Golden Pavilion), is also within walking distance.
There is a scene where Tomouo and Taniichi, the biwa-playing monk, eat aburi mochi (grilled rice cakes). In the play, it appears as a kind of symbol of the tense and volatile atmosphere in Kyoto during the Muromachi period.
