Yasaka Shrine

Yasaka Shrine is one of the must-visit places in the Gion-Shijo area. It is affectionately called "Gion-san" by the locals. A Okuninushisha beside the main hall honors the God of marriage, so a visit there brings good fortune and improves your chances of meeting your ideal partner.
There are cute Japanese luck charms that match the kimono, such as the "Ema (votive tablet)” used to make wishes, and the "Gannkake rabbit (a rabbit-shaped good luck charm)", so it might be a good idea to include these in your pictures.

Wapluse Kyoto is a 1-minute walk from Yasaka Shrine! Our proximity to the shrine means that even if your schedule is limited, you will still have time to visit the shrine, take pictures and enjoy the atmosphere.
