Yasaka Shrine
4:30 pm | Day 1 | Kyoto |
After we had a short rest in Nanzenji Temple, we headed to Yasaka Shrine. It is a long walk to Yasaka Shrine so we advise you to take a bus. For us, we just walked to look for a cafe to have some snacks and warm us up. Since Yasaka Shrine is located in the heart of the district, it was not hard for us to find a place to eat. Infact, just outside the shrine there are plenty of restaurants and cafes. We did not even realize that there were food stalls as well inside.
"Yasaka Shrine, also known as Gion Shrine, is one of the most
famous shrines in Kyoto. Founded over 1350
years ago, the shrine is located between the popular Gion District and Higashiyama District, and
is often visited by tourists walking between the two districts.." [ref:
