Ichijo Modoribashi (Returning Bridge)

Central (Rakuchū)｜西陣

Seimei Shrine, dedicated to the onmyoji Abe no Seimei, and the Ichijo Modoribashi bridge close by. The bridge brims with legends-Seimei hiding his shikigami spirits beneath it, Watanabe no Tsuna severing a demon's arm there-and is spoken of as a boundary between this world and the next. The cafe is a book-and-coffee hideaway run by a book designer.
