Know before you go

Bring a camera or phone: Yasaka Koshin-do is especially known for vivid kukurizaru cloth charms and colorful photo spots.
Pair Yasaka Koshin-do with nearby Kiyomizu-dera on the same walk; the temple is a compact stop in Higashiyama.
Expect a small site rather than a large temple complex, so plan for a short visit focused on charms, prayer, and photos.
