Where is everything at Yasaka Shrine?
The West Gate opens onto Shijo-dori; the main approach comes in from the south through the stone torii and the South Gate.
The Main Hall stands in the middle, with the Dance Hall just south of it. The amulet office, for amulets and goshuin, is just west of the Dance Hall.
