What other travelers are saying about Yasaka Shrine
Really pretty, large shrine. The walkway leading up had a lot of vendors of all kinds, from souvenirs to food. There was a small garden area where we met and pet at least 4 different cats. There's a beautiful pond, and a few restaurants scattered around. A great spot to spend an afternoon.
Beautiful Shrine in Kyoto. You get Kimono rentals nearby. You can wear Kimono and visit the Shrine if you are interested. Looked more beautiful during fall colors 🍁 season. Amazing scenic spots inside the temple.
Very beautiful and serene esp at night. During the day there are many stalls selling snacks.
Located near gion street so u can visit both at the same time. Behind it is a complex of other smaller shrines, parks, as well as classic alleyways and houses so you'll never run out of aesthetic background for your photos. Just be respectful because not every spot allows you to take photos.
Bad Bad Bad Bad Boring. There's legit nothing to do there, I went there and walked through the whole thing in 10 minutes. The buildings are repetitive and boring. There are so much food carts everywhere blocking the views of the ancient buildings. Carparks take up half the space. But it's still a pretty good entrance and exit, so 3/5
Another famous tourist attraction to visit in Kyoto, the building here was unique and beautiful. Can come on evening so can enjoy the different views of day and night. There are a lot of local snack food sold here, here cannot use the tripods stand to take picture , no need ticket to enter the shrine
