The Kiyomizu stage hangs on Higashiyama. This day is the temple, the slopes and Yasaka, ending in Gion. Not Fushimi Inari, and not Arashiyama.
Best time
Morning after the gates open. New Year and festivals are separate.
How to go
City bus or subway “清水道”. Tap ICOCA or PiTaPa. A city-bus day pass is bus only — not subway or JR.
Tips
- · The Kiyomizu stage hangs on Higashiyama. This day is the temple, the slopes and Yasaka, ending in Gion. Not Fushimi Inari, and not Arashiyama.
- · One axis a day. Do not stack Higashiyama, Arashiyama, Fushimi, Kinkaku and Ginkaku.
- · Some seasons run night openings; without a notice, descend at dusk — do not gamble on lights.
