About Yasaka Shrine
Yasaka Shrine is a shrine in Gion-machi, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto, and is said to have been erected in 656, and is also known as the Yamabokojunko endpoint of Gion festival.
Yasaka Shrine is a famous shrine in Kyoto Prefecture, where the second visit to the Fushimi Inari Shrine is gathered. On New Year’s Eve, Shijo Dori becomes a pedestrian paradise and is swarmed with visitors to the Yasaka shrine. In Setsubun, Maiko and Geiko are scattered beans from Noh stage in the precincts.
Because there is a famous Maruyama park with cherry blossoms at the back of the site, and it is in contact with Chion, I think that it is good to see this region collectively.
