There were many tourists when we were there but it didn't feel packed. There were many shops selling food & souvenirs. It's nice just to try some of the local sweets and walk along the streets, lined with nice traditional homes & shops. When we were there, we saw a few "fake" geishas, basically local tourists who paid to dress... More

We started from Yasada shrine and ended the walk at Kiyomizusake. More

I really love Ninen-zaka and Sannen-Zaka. I think they are must sees in Kyoto! They form part of the southern Higashiyama walking tour.

During the day during peak season they are... More
