The bright red gate of Yasaka Shrine

∇What's it like here?
Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto is famous as the location where the Gion Festival is held.
The bright red gate and the large main hall are impressive.
Various events are held there, so it might be worth going to see them!

∇Recommended
Go during the day and at night!
Of course, the lanterns and red gate are beautiful during the day.
However, if you go at night, you can see the lit-up grounds, which is also recommended!
You can go even after other places are closed, so you can go even if you're waiting for a night bus.

∇Access
5 minutes on foot from Keihan "Gion-Shijo Station"
8 minutes on foot from Hankyu "Kawaramachi Station"
