Skip the midday crowds and hit the shrine at dusk when the hundreds of donated lanterns on the central stage light up. It is free, open 24/7, and serves as the perfect entry point to a Gion night walk. Look for the 'beauty water' near the Utsukushigozen-sha sub-shrine—locals dab it on their skin for good luck. Budget 45 minutes unless you are pairing it with a guided geisha district tour through the surrounding backstreets.
