Except for the New Year’s Eve celebrations, have you ever visited a Japanese\u00a0shrine<\/strong>\u00a0at night? In Japan, Shinto shrines<\/strong> and Buddhist temples<\/strong> usually close at 17:00. Or, instead of closing, they may only keep low-level lighting on, or even turn the lights off altogether. Which means that even though the\u00a0entrance may still be open, being at the shrine after sunset can feel creepy.\u00a0However, Yasaka Shrine<\/strong> in Kyoto<\/strong> is an exception. Moreover, it can be said that the best time<\/em> to visit Yasaka Shrine is in the evening, or at night.<\/p>\n
