💡 Tips for Visitors

Visit early morning or late afternoon to avoid peak crowds, especially during cherry blossom and autumn foliage seasons. Wear comfortable walking shoes as the promenade includes steep slopes and stone-paved streets that can be slippery when wet. Many small shops and traditional establishments are cash-only, so carry yen, though major temples accept credit cards for entrance fees.
