The canal path from Ginkaku-ji toward Eikan-do and Nanzen-ji. Cherry season is its own crowd. On ordinary days, stopping at Nanzen-ji is enough.
Best time
Morning or dusk. Cherry and maple seasons are their own crowds.
How to go
City bus or subway “銀閣寺道”. Tap ICOCA or PiTaPa. A city-bus day pass is bus only — not subway or JR.
