What other travelers are saying about Namba Yasaka Shrine
April 11th, 2023:
Came here around 6:15am. There was nobody around except the groundskeeper and two other foreign photographers as myself.
Very quiet. I love how nestled this gem is within the city. Giant Lions head is well kept. Met a cool dude, shoutout Mark!
Good times. Highly recommended. A slight feeling of majesticism can set in.
Go early as this place picks up quite quickly with a crowd. Don't be lazy, go at 6am like I did.
Another sacred space just outside of our booking.com place!
It is a spectacle in itself and it’s a beautiful place where people worship and give thanks and gratitude.
Definitely beautiful to see the locals here and keeping the space for them and honouring their beliefs.
We have looked and so many shrines and Yasaka along our journey through Japan.
This is not one to miss. You got to see it to believe it.
The shrine is cool having a unique feature of the demon with the temple beside of it makes it really authentic. Many tourists are coming over to take some photos and some japanese giving their prayers. its nice that it is just near the famous Dotonbori
This shrine is a popular spot for tourists, located in the city center. It's easy to reach, but you need to follow the map for a while down the street.
Seeing it in pictures did not do it justice. When I rounded the corner into the shrine and saw just how big it actually is, I was absolutely in awe. I’ve never really called something magnificent but this was magnificent. The structure, the concept, and just how well kept/preserved it is. I’m so glad we took time from our trip to check it out. Absolutely became one of my favorite places to visit.
