Yasaka Pagoda

The Yasaka Pagoda, a symbol of Higashiyama, stands in a town with a historical atmosphere. It is a five-story pagoda with a long history that has stood here since before the capital was built in Kyoto. The beautiful silhouette of the pagoda, which has remained unchanged since ancient times, can be seen from various places in Higashiyama, a city of hills, and is loved by locals and tourists alike as a beautiful scene typical of Kyoto.
