I dropped by at Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto.
Yasaka Shrine is one of the most famous shrines in Kyoto.
The shrine is located between the popular Gion District and Higashiyama District, and is often visited by tourists walking between the two districts.😉
I often guide many foreign toursts around this tourist course.😄
Yasaka Shrine is well known for its summer festival, the Gion Matsuri festival, which is celebrated every July.
Arguably the most famous festival in Japan. Gion Matsuri dates back over a thousand years and involves a procession with massive floats and hundreds of participants. 👘
The shrine also becomes busy during the cherry blossom season around early April, as the adjacent Maruyama Park is one of the most famous cherry blossom spots in Kyoto.🌸🌸🌸
