The shrine itself is not so special, but the magnificent and very busy park, which is located on a hillside and playground for many children and invites you to a picnic. In addition, the many trees in the summer donate enough shade to cool off a bit.

We were here for the cherry blossom/Sakura festival, lots of people, music, sounds, lots to see, lots of different things to eat - a great day.

The Yasaka Shrine, or Yasaka-jinja as it is called in Japanese (“jinja” means shrine), is absolutely stunning with its bright red and white colors!

The shrine was built in 656 and is the guardian shrine of the Gion entertainment district in Kyoto.
