The temple of Nene. Night illumination is seasonal only. On ordinary days the garden is enough — do not assume lights every night.
Best time
Morning after the gates open. New Year and festivals are separate.
How to go
City bus or subway “祇園四條”. Tap ICOCA or PiTaPa. A city-bus day pass is bus only — not subway or JR.
Tips
- · The temple of Nene. Night illumination is seasonal only. On ordinary days the garden is enough — do not assume lights every night.
- · One axis a day. Do not stack Higashiyama, Arashiyama, Fushimi, Kinkaku and Ginkaku.
- · Night openings and light-ups cluster in spring/autumn — not every night; check that season’s notice.
