The designer's wild imagination really shines here. It feels like the world we see every day has been completely reimagined.

Yasaka Shrine
The shrine’s deities are Susanoo-no-Mikoto, Kushiinadahime-no-Mikoto, and Yahashira-no-Mikogami, and it is the head shrine of approximately 2,300 Yasaka Shrine and related shrines with Susanoo-no-Mikoto enshrined scattered throughout Japan.
Also known as Gion Shrine, this is where the famous Gion Festival—one of Japan's three major festivals—is held. If you walk from the other side, you'll reach the well-known Maruyama Park.

A perfect spot to breathe in some fresh air!

Ninna-ji Temple
The head temple of the Omuro school of the Shingon sect of Buddhism, registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as one of the "Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto" The construction of the temple began in the early Heian period (886) at the request of Emperor Koko, the 58th emperor, and was completed in 888 by Emperor Uda, the next emperor. The temple name, Ninna, comes from the Japanese era name.
I missed the cherry blossom season when I visited. I bet it's absolutely beautiful when the sakura are in full bloom.
