●Points
An ancient shrine that has been standing since before the capital was moved to Heian-kyo (794)
Familiarly known as "Gion-san," this is the head shrine of all Yasaka Shrines in Japan
In addition to the main hall, which is a national treasure, Yasaka Shrine has 29 buildings on and around the grounds that are important cultural properties
The architectural style is considered to have high historical value, so it is a must-see
Each auxiliary and subordinate shrine has different benefits such as beauty, relationships, and business prosperity, so you may be able to grant all your wishes at Yasaka Shrine alone
However, how many years has it been since we have seen so many people
It is a crowd that I remember from the New Year holidays, but
There are also many foreign tourists, and it feels like tourism is back
Hot Kyoto...
Uncomfortable Kyoto...
However,
This is the essence of Kyoto, so please come to Kyoto
