Yasaka Shrine
Gion免費入場
這座朱紅色神社座落於祇園與東山的交界處,創建至今已逾1,350年,也是每年七月舉行的祇園祭——日本最著名的祭典之一——的發源地。入夜後,數百盞燈籠高懸,將神社點亮。
The shrine grounds are free and open 24 hours; the main hall and lantern-lit approach are especially worth an evening visit. It sits right at the entrance to Maruyama Park, Kyoto's most popular cherry-blossom spot, making the two an easy pairing.
