Yasaka Pagoda is located on a hill in Higashiyama-ku, in harmony with the surrounding traditional townscape.
Cobblestone pathways stretch around the tower, lined with traditional townhouses, teahouses, and souvenir shops.
The scenery evokes a sense of history, and visitors can enjoy the atmosphere of the ancient capital, which is typical of Kyoto.
If you go a little further, you will find Nigenzaka (Ninenzaka) and Sannenzaka (Sannenzaka), which are very popular as photo spots.
With the spread of SNS in recent years, there are many people even at 7:00 a.m., so we recommend that you take your pictures early in the morning.
