In the middle of our walk in Kyoto we passed through this Shinto shrine, called Yasaka (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasaka_Shrine). There were first entered the large gate, then washed our hands, before walking around and admiring the hanging lanterns. We all made an offering of some change (after ringing the big bell) and said a small prayer. It was a quiet place to relax for a few minutes during our walk around the city. It wasn't very crowded, and there were a lot of trees to make it feel peaceful.
