Yasaka-jinja Shrine

The Yasaka-jinja shrine is a Shinto shrine dating back to the year 656. Despite its age, the buildings and the grounds were very well maintained. We followed recommendations to visit at night because the weather was cooler and there were few people, and the shrine is beautifully lit up. It is also near the Gion district which is buzzing with shops, restaurants, and bars, so we grabbed a nice bowl of ramen nearby afterwards. #timetotravel #japan #kyoto #shintoshrine

#passionpassport The most famous shrine in the Gion area and a patron of the arts with a 1,350 year history, Yasaka Shrine, or Gion-sha, is a beautiful site full of character and natural charm. Susano’o no Mikoto, a great god of storms and sea in Japanese mythology is worshiped there alongside his wife Kushiinada-hime and the Yahashira no Mikogami, their eight children. The colorful shrine is a popular spot for tourists and its street-facing two-storied vermilion gate is a district landmark. Once inside the gate you can access several subsidiary shrines, some of which are famous for things such as helping you become beautiful or find love in a relationship. The main hall is a lovely sight with the prayer hall in front of it strung with lanterns serving as the stage for many a cultural performance throughout the year, particularly those performed by the geisha from nearby districts. #kyoto #visitjapan #passionpassport
