    Tourists ask about Kiyomizu. I ask: have you walked Sannenzaka at 5am? No? Then don't talk. The queue starts at 9. By 6 the morning light is gone. Locals work around it β€” you should too. Hidden gem nearby: Yasaka-no-To pagoda from Ninenzaka, before the crowd.

    >>1 I was there last spring. 4:45am, not 5. Bring coffee β€” vending machines on Sannenzaka are dead until 6.
