Do you know the meaning behind omamori, and how they should be treated?

Kyoto is home to countless shrines and temples, and for many visitors, choosing an omamori is part of the experience, beyond simply offering prayers.
Omamori come in many colors and shapes, each representing a different wish. Yet they all share one thing in common: they are treasured charms that quietly support the hopes of those who carry them. Learning about the tradition behind omamori can make your visit feel just a little more special.
Even after your journey ends, may the memories and wishes you made in Kyoto remain close to your heart.

京都には数えきれないほどの神社やお寺があり、お参りするだけでなく、お守りを頂くのも楽しみのひとつです。
お守りは色や形、願いごともさまざま。けれど共通しているのは、人の願いにそっと寄り添う、尊い存在であるということ。お守りを通して、京都で過ごした記憶や願いが、そっとそばにあり続けますように。
