[Kyoto Prefecture] Yasaka Shrine: A place worth visiting in 2023

\\I'm glad I went in 2023// Yasaka Shrine, known as the god of matchmaking, is a popular tourist destination that cannot be missed when sightseeing in the Higashiyama area of ​​Kyoto. When I visited, the Gion Festival, a festival of Yasaka Shrine with a tradition of about 1,100 years, which is a seasonal event in summer, was held. It is wonderful to visit during the day or at night when the festival is full of excitement, but visiting early in the summer allows you to experience the solemn atmosphere, and the heat is also mitigated, so you can enjoy sightseeing with fewer people. If you want to take your time visiting a quiet shrine with few people, we recommend getting up early and taking an "early morning walk."
