Gion Higashiyama is popular with tourists for good reason! It's a fascinating area rich in tradition and beautiful detail. Because it is so popular it is usually crowded, but I went there one summer evening and found it less busy than usual. I could enjoy taking photos of the traditional buildings and beautiful streets.
