Description The entrance to a shrine in Kyoto, next to the kimono shop, Yumi Kimono. I can't recall what the name of this place is. If you know it, let me know!

*EDIT* Thank's to the lovely, ~Fuyou-hime , I was told the name of this lovely place is Yasaka Jinja, one of Kyoto's most famous shrines. *END EDIT*

Also, no I dont know those people, they just happened to be in the shot when I took this.

Also again! Lame title but I couldn't think of a cooler one. Though it's still kind of cool.

I love Japanese architecture! The subtle curves of the roofs, intricate details, and overall immaculate appearance are always stunning.

This is Yasaka Jinja, one of Kyoto's most famous shrines. It's right next to the Gion Kobu and Gion Higashi geisha districts .

Oh awesome thank you! I gave you credit in the description. We also visited Gion while we were there. Lovely place Kyoto. Next time I go visit my family again, I'm definitely stopping there again on the way.

Isnt it? The inside is also no exception. Its a very large place & it took us a while to walk though it all. But well worth it, as it was a beautiful day.
