There\u2019s no sugarcoating it: Kyoto<\/a> is busy. It\u2019s a top destination for many on their first trip to Japan because of the number of shrines, temples, and other historical sites you can get to in a couple of days. It\u2019s busy almost year-round at this point, and it is driving the regional government to consider significantly raising tourist taxes on hotel stays to counter overtourism.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, there are few neighbourhood that aren\u2019t flooded with tourists, but you can find space within a few areas, especially if you time your visit right.<\/p>\n

For example, near the Karasuma area is the Sanjocho neighbourhood, where tight streets reveal small restaurants and caf\u00e9s that are often quiet in the morning and early evening. A stellar caf\u00e9 called Here Kyoto has a branch there (don\u2019t miss the roasted chestnut latte), and Pizzeria Osteria e.o.e offers a simply divine Neapolitan-style pizza in a simple, narrow kitchen.<\/p>\n
