Famous attractions in Kyoto, Japan: Yasaka Shrine, suitable for taking photos📸

#MarchGoodPlaces2025
Kyoto, Japan is a world-famous tourist resort city. Every day, thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing and vacation. There are many temple attractions in Kyoto. This time I will introduce a famous attraction in Kyoto: Yasaka Shrine.
Yasaka Shrine is the center of Kyoto's "Gion Faith". It was built in 656 AD and is dedicated to "Susanoo-kun", the god of exorcism and matchmaking. It is also the birthplace of the "Gion Festival", one of the three major festivals in Japan!
Key points not to be missed:
- West Tower Gate: The vermilion tower gate and the modern streetscape of Shijo-dori form a collision of time and space. It is a great time to take photos at the blue hour in the evening!
- Lantern Array of the Dance Hall: Nearly a hundred traditional lanterns are hung, which look like the Milky Way falling to the ground at night, and can be called the ceiling of Kyoto's night view.
- Migozensha: A must-visit for girls! Lightly touch your forehead with the shrine's "beauty water" and pray for eternal youth (the spring water is not drinkable).
