Yasaka Shrine, situated in the heart of Kyoto, holds great historical and cultural significance. Its origins trace back over 1350 years, rendering it one of Japan's oldest shrines. Renowned for its lively Gion festival during the summer and as a favored cherry blossom viewing locale.

The main hall is a powerful fusion of a honden (inner sanctuary) and haiden (offering hall). Before it, an exquisite dance stage graces the scene, adorned with hundreds of colorful lanterns that glow come evening. This is precisely why I strongly recommend visiting after sunset! In the evening, you won't be able to purchase souvenirs such as lucky charms and so on, but the experience promises fewer crowds and an enchanting atmosphere unique to the evening hours, which I believe everyone should encounter.
