What other travelers are saying about Yasaka Shrine
Lovely little park and shrine! We walked from our hotel and threw the park which offered little snack shacks and venders. The park is beautifully landscaped and just very serene. The architecture is very beautiful and traditional as well.
Even though it seemed crowded when I arrived at night , around 8pm, I had the opportunity to enjoy a nice traditional dance for free inside the temple site. In the entrance I was surprised to see several food stalls closing and picking up their things. I imagine that during the day you can try some street food here. It was very nice to walk around during the Saturday night.
I went here as my first stop in Kyoto. Its a beautiful place without any entrance fee. You can drink the holy water in the beginning and enjoy the beautiful architecture of the palace. If you practice the religion, you will also find your places in the shrine.
This place was not as crowded as the other famous places in Kyoto.
A beautiful colourful temple. Surrounded by lush garden and park.
Fantastic place to walk around, very picturesque.
We were fortunate to see a musical performance whilst we were there.
We visited Yasaka Shrine at night to got to see all of the picturesque lanterns lit up, which was very beautiful. At night, the shrine wasn't crowded at all and allowed for some great pictures.
The shrine also overlooks a pretty street with many restaurants and shops.
