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

Yasaka Shrine
Yasaka Shrine enshrines Susanoo-no-Mikoto, Kushiinadahime-no-Mikoto, and Yahashira-no-Mikoto. It is the head shrine of approximately 2,300 Yasaka shrines and other related shrines throughout Japan that enshrine Susanoo-no-Mikoto. The shrine is said to have originated in 656, when a deity from Mount Gozu in the ancient Korean kingdom of Silla was enshrined here.
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.

Located at the foot of the Yoro Mountains in Seino, southwestern Gifu Prefecture, Yoro Park is a vast, nature-rich park with a variety of recreational facilities, including the Site of Reversible Destiny - Yoro and Kodomo-no-kuni. Yoro Falls, the park’s main attraction, is located at the far end of the grounds.
A perfect spot to breathe in some fresh air!

Ninnaji Temple
The head temple of the Omuro school of Shingon Buddhism, Ninnaji Temple is listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site as part of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto. Construction began in 886 at the request of Emperor Koko, the 58th emperor, during the early Heian period, and the temple was completed in 888 by his successor, Emperor Uda. The era name Ninna derives from the temple's name.
I missed the cherry blossom season when I visited. I bet it's absolutely beautiful when the sakura are in full bloom.
