Hopefully this is okay for this subreddit. I visited Kyoto last spring, and with the exception of a couple places (base of Fushimi inari, Higashiyama main streets), I didn't find anywhere to be very crowded at all. Many places like the Philosopher's path and Nanzenji temple had practically nobody there, and I didn't have to wait in line for a single restaurant.
Was this a one-off occurrence, or is it truly only a handful of places that are overcrowded with tourists?
Just some random thoughts – am interested to hear people's opinions, especially residents of Kyoto!
