💡 Tips for Visitors

Visit early morning or late afternoon for the best light and fewer tourists. Most traditional shops are cash-only, so bring yen. The street is about 600 meters long and best explored on foot; combine your visit with nearby Adashino Nenbutsu-ji Temple and the bamboo groves of Arashiyama for a full day experience.
