Yasaka Shrine (Gion Festival Host), Kyoto City, Japan
Yasaka Shrine is located in Kyoto City, Japan. This Shrine is probably the most visible and popular with the tourists both Japanese and non-Japanese. The reason is because it is right in the heart of the city, close to the main shopping avenue, Shijo Dori. If you happen to stroll from Kiyomizu Temple to up north along the Higashiyama Mountains, you will end up near Yasaka Shrine.
Yasaka Shrine is known to host the yearly Gion Festival in July. It is the biggest festival in Kyoto and probably in Japan.
Exploring Kyoto, Japan|Day 63 - Kyoto
Formerly the capital of Japan, Kyoto’s rich cultural and religious history is preserved as it was over 1,000 years ago. This beautiful, historic city and prefecture makes the top “must-see” lists in travel books and magazines every year. Over 2,000 religious sites are scattered across the city, most of them in perfect condition as Kyoto was spared from air raids during World War II. One of the most famous temples in Japan and a popular sightseeing spot is the Temple of the Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji). In honor of the vegetarian lifestyle of the monks and priests working at the prefecture’s many temples and shrines, Kyoto fare has developed over the centuries to spotlight local heirloom vegetables. Kaiseki Ryori, a traditional Japanese multi-course haute cuisine, originated from this culinary tradition. In contrast to Tokyo’s fast-paced and modern vibe, Kyoto is elegant and refined. To fully enjoy it visitors should slow down, savor, ponder and stroll.

MUSLIM HALAL JAPANESE STREET FOOD TOUR IN KYOTO - Mochi, Nishiki Market & Fushimi Inari Shrine
Asslamu Alikom - Greetings of Peace everyone! We hope you enjoy our japan travel vlog about our day trip to try some of the amazing street food in Kyoto Japan.
Top Things to do in Kyoto:
1) Visit the temples!
2) Arashiyama park
3) Tea Ceremony
4) Nishiki Market
5) Gion District/Pontocho
We started the day very early in Osaka and we took the JR Shinkansen Rapid train from Shin Osaka to Kyoto station which took about 15-20 minutes.
The first place stop on our japanese vlog tour was the Fushimi Inari Shrine (伏見稲荷大社) where we got to spend some time eating and shopping while discovering the beautiful scenery around the shrine. The shrine is located on a mountain so its a great opportunity to hike and see the amazing colorful Torii Gates that run up the mountain. This place has a lot of tourists and is very popular when visiting kyoto Japan. The shrine is famous for its thousands of Torii gates.
After we rested a bit and headed to a tea ceremony at a place called Tea Ceremony En in Kyoto. This was a great experience that was perfect for a hectic and busy day. The tea ceremony allows you to see how important this is and how it shaped japanese culture. The hostess shows you how they would host guests in the past and make the green matcha tea in a beautiful relaxing manner. Definitely a great way to relax in Kyoto.
After the Tea ceremony, we got hungry and we wanted to eat lunch so we stopped by a popular area called Pontocho Alley district which is close to Gion and Nishiki market. This area is beautiful, with the Kyoto river behind it and all these old unique buildings serving amazing japanese food. Great place for lunch! The Japanese restaurant we went to served us a great sushi and sashimi bowl lunch. We also got to try the Kyoto speciality of yuba - tofu skin which was delicious. We also tried Chawan Mushi which is an egg custard soup that was really tasty.
We headed to Gion district to try the famous Matcha green tea ice cream! It is a must when visiting Kyoto to try the Matcha desserts, they have the best matcha desserts and mochi! At Gion, we got to see how life was like in old Japan and see the beautiful architecture of Kyoto as well as see a real Geisha!
Geisha's are everywhere but are very hard to spot in the Gion district so keep your eye out!
Finally we headed to Nishiki market to buy souvenirs and try the local produce of Kyoto. Nishiki Market (錦市場, Nishiki Ichiba) is a very narrow market with five blocks of food stalls to choose from! You can try so many unique Japanese foods such as Mochi, Tofu donuts, Senbei, octupus skewers, different pickled japanese vegetables, sashimi skewers, and ten fish cakes. We tried the fish cake that has quail eggs and they were delicious. We also tried the mochi and tofu donuts that were amazing and tasty.
Kyoto is such a beautiful and historic old city that is a must when visiting Japan. The people are kind and the city is very unique and feels like home even if you are not from Japan.

Shimogamo Shrine (下鴨神社), Kyoto City, Japan
The Kamigamo and Shimogao Shrines (上鴨神社 下鴨神社), known as the Kamo Shrines are designated as the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of ancient Kyoto. They are located in Kyoto City, Japan.
While Kamigamo Shrine (known as upper shrine), is located further north of the Shimogamo Shrine (known as the lower shrine), both shrines are located around northeast of Kyoto City.
Both Kamo shrines are founded by Kamo Clan of ancient Japan in the 8th century. Enshrined here are the god Kamotakatsunemino Mikoto and his daughter Tamayorihime-no Mikoto, who is said to have been impregnated by an arrow that floated down by the Kamo River, subsequently giving birth to Kamo-wakeikazuchi, the god who is enshrined at Kamigamo Shrine. Since the founding of Kyoto as the capital of Japan in 794, this shrine played an important role in protecting the Imperial Palaces and acting as an important venue for various royal ceremonial rites.
The precints around the Shrine include a forest called Tadasuno Mori, a wooded area covering 120,000 square meters. The forest is an important botanical site and it's ecological status has not changed since ancient times. It also acts as an important place for the tourists to take a break and enjoy the autumn foliage and snow covered trees, in those seasons.
Both Kamigamo and Shimogamo Shrines, host the AOI (blue) festival, which is one of the three important festivals in Japan. During this festival the Heian era traditions are enacted in various fashions, including archery contests.
Hope you get a chance to visit and enjoy this shrine.

Kyoto serves as an antidote to the hectic and buzzing cityscape of Tokyo, which is only two hours away by bullet train. Tough the city remains steeped in Japanese cultural traditions, it does so with a generous sprinkling of modernity.
Kyoto | Our favorite spots to visit
Copy the trip we took on Odigo!
YouTube:
Kyoto is the number one travel destination in Japan, and because there are SO. MANY. things to see there it can be hard to figure out where to go. These are our three recommendations for first-time visitors: Kiyomizu-dera, Arashiyama (which is also where Tenryu-ji is), and Gion and the nearby street Shijo Dori + Yasaka shrine. Fushimi Inari Taisha is probably one of the more famous areas, but for us it was SO crowded that it was difficult to even get around. It kind of just made me feel sad because you could tell how incredibly beautiful and almost magical it would have been hundreds of years ago, but with the crowds today it was just about impossible to enjoy it. That's just my opinion, though, and many people love it anyway!
Kiyomizu-dera, Arashiyama, and the Gion general area are all extremely crowded, too (of course), but to me they were worth it despite that. And that's saying something because I can't stand crowded tourist spots!!
We also met the amazing singer Reika (of the group Juuichi) on Shijo Dori, and they very graciously allowed us to use their music!!

Japan Before Dawn - Moments in Time Ep 7
This is our biggest episode yet as I explore and photograph some of my favorite locations in Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka during a beautiful sakura season beginning with the seemingly infinite rows of vermilion torii gates in the Fushimi Inari Shrine. A very early morning ensures I have the entire shrine all to myself as the lanterns light the beautiful paths.
Next, I connect with my friend and local tour guide Yumi and we take a train together to Nara to explore some of Japan’s most important cultural and UNESCO World Heritage sites like Todai-ji temple. But Nara isn’t just known for the ancient architecture, it’s also famous for the thousands of nearly domesticated local deer that have become a tourist attraction themselves.
After another very early morning photographing the famous Bamboo Forest in Arashiyama, we quickly learn just how busy this location becomes when mainstream tourists arrive. Thankfully arriving super early ensures that I’m able to get the shot, and before heading to Osaka, I share about every piece of gear that’s in my camera bag.
In Osaka, I meet up with local landscape photographer Hideaki Sumi and we photograph a great spot at Osaka Castle where the Cherry Blossoms surround and frame the castle. We stay through a beautiful sunset and blue hour until we are able to get the perfect shot with the best light.
In this Moments in Time series, we take a journey around the world together, and share about photography, travel, people, food, experiences, and everything that happens between the frames I capture. Join our Moments in Time Flickr community for some exclusive content being released next week or tune back in on Tuesday, August 13th for a new episode from the tulip fields of the Netherlands, as we begin the European portion of this adventure.
