Higashiyama Historic District
Kyoto, JapanAbout Higashiyama Historic District
The preserved slopes between Kiyomizu-dera and Yasaka Shrine, where the stone-paved lanes of Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka are lined with wooden shops selling crafts, pottery, pickles and sweets, with the Yasaka Pagoda rising over the rooftops. By mid-morning it's packed, so come at 7–8am for empty lanes and soft light, then carry on up to Kiyomizu-dera.
