Our advice for Monday 14 September

Long lines at Fushimi Inari and the path of red gates and Arashiyama, the bamboo path and the bridge all day. Two ways to plan around them, each with the tickets it needs. Tap one to open it. Pick another day at the top and the plans change with it.

One day, nothing to bookno ticket neededFushimi Inari and the Higashiyama lanes — nothing to book.

Dawn

Fushimi Inari FreeThe path of red gates has no entry gate and no closing time, so walk it at first light.

Morning

The Higashiyama lanes FreeCome down from Kiyomizu-dera before ten, while the stepped lanes still have room.

Late afternoon

The Philosopher's Path FreeA canal path in the eastern hills, and somewhere to walk when the temple lanes are full.

Not today

The gate path above Fushimi Inari's main hall, Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka, below Kiyomizu-dera, the bamboo path and Togetsukyo bridge, Arashiyama, Nishiki Market's covered lane and the covered bridge at Tofuku-ji.

Cost: nothing to book.

The quiet sideno ticket neededThe Arashiyama bamboo path and Nishiki Market — nothing to book.

Morning

The Arashiyama bamboo path FreeIt is a public path about 400 metres long, and on a calm morning you can stop on it.

Afternoon

Nishiki Market FreeOn a calm day you can stand still in the covered lane without blocking it.

Late afternoon

Hanamikoji, Gion FreeThe main street of Gion is walkable on a calm evening; the alleys off it are homes, not sights.

Not today

Cost: nothing to book.

Nothing much calmer within two weeks of this one — this is simply the season.
