What travelers say:
The Yasaka Tower is the oldest building in Kyoto. In the Faguan Temple, the tower seen here is called the Yasaka Tower. Because it is under maintenance, it is closed and no tickets are sold. Even this can't stop us from looking at it outside the wall!

Faguan Temple has the oldest tower building in Kyoto, the Yasaka Tower. The little brother at the door feels very cool. Under the tower, 1 person, 1 car, standing in front of the Faguan Temple and waiting for the tourists. It is very good. The panoramic view can't help but leave a shadow.
The Yasaka Tower is Kyoto's oldest tower building and a monastery ordered by Prince Satoshi, a politician committed to popularizing Buddhism in the 6th century. The 46-meter-high Yasaka Tower is the most eye-catching destination in Dongshan, in a low-rise Hao family house.
amazing temple. super beautiful. there are a lot of side streets to find great angles to take pictures
lovely sunset view and it’s best to visit in the early morning or around sunset time as there’ll be less crowd
Must visit when in Kyoto and in the Kiyomizudera area. This little street allows great views and photo spot of the 5 story pagoda.
A high-temple department in Kyoto City, everyone must go to the check-in point. There are many rickshaws nearby. Everyone has time to choose to visit by rickshaw.
Mileutin is to worship here before heading to Kiyomizu-dera Temple. The paths around here are places where you can feel Kyoto, so you'll get lost, but it's a very fun spot.
