Walk these stone-paved slopes before 9:00 AM if you want photos without a hundred selfie sticks in the background. The aesthetic is peak old Kyoto, but the wooden stairs are a trip hazard—literally. Browse the Ghibli store and the world’s only tatami-mat Starbucks, then grab some fresh yatsuhashi. Spend about an hour here before heading to Kiyomizu-dera. If you’re overwhelmed by the crowds, a Gion hidden gems tour helps find the quieter back alleys nearby.
