What other travelers are saying about Yasaka Shrine
We visited in the evening and the shrine looked so beautiful. Although it was quite crowded, it felt quite peaceful inside. There’s a park behind the shrine where you can also enjoy a quiet walk. We tried different foods from the food stalls at the entrance of the shrine.
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
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.
Deep dive into Japanese culture, visiting very popular place where people walk in traditional costumes renting ahead. Weekends could be super crowded but it is worth it. Historical buildings, shrines, parks, especially when having nice autumn warm weather. Many people continue with philosopher path to have mix or nature, history and culture. There are so many thing that you could get easily tired of it
