If you want a perfect photo of Yasaka Pagoda without crowds, skip the famous Ninenzaka–Sannenzaka streets and walk (or bike!) to the back street just west of the pagoda.
Most tourists stay on the main road, so this quiet lane gives you a beautiful, classic Kyoto view with almost no people. It’s one of my favorite stops during my e-bike tours and the perfect spot to capture the soft light of early morning or late afternoon.
