야사카 고신도

Plan for a quick stop rather than a long exploration. Yasaka Koshin-do sits in the Higashiyama district and pairs naturally with a visit to Kiyomizu-dera nearby, making it easy to fold into a single walking route.

The temple is compact, so most of your time here will be spent looking at the colorful kukurizaru cloth charms that cover the main hall, praying, and taking photos. Bring your phone or camera; the hanging charms are the main draw and photograph well.
