Yasaka Shrine faces Shijo Dori, a famous shopping location in Kyoto. It is a great tourist spot with good food, food stalls, and many traditional stores. Enjoy this virtual tour of Kyoto, Japan.
It is also famous for the Gion Festival, and is widely known as the center of sightseeing in Kyoto.
The adjacent Maruyama Park is designated as a national scenic beauty spot, and in spring, it is the most popular cherry blossom viewing spot in Kyoto, especially for the Gion weeping cherry trees.
In the fall, the area is a popular spot for viewing the autumn leaves along with the nearby Kiyomizu-dera and Kodaiji temple.

Really enjoyed seeing Yasaka Jinja Shrine at night , one of the most famous landmarks of Kyoto. It feels like a great time to visit at night less people and the lights add to the ambience. Very cool I shared again on my Threads and hope more people will enjoy the tour too.
