The great torii and garden for the 1,100th year of Heian-kyo. The spine of an Okazaki day. The zoo and museums are next door — do not add Kinkaku-ji.
Best time
Morning after the gates open. New Year and festivals are separate.
How to go
City bus or subway “東山”. Tap ICOCA or PiTaPa. A city-bus day pass is bus only — not subway or JR.
