Kyoto webcams and updated images

See the streets of Hanamikoji and Nene-no-michi in Gion, or look around Togetsukyo Bridge and Arashiyama’s bamboo path. For Amanohashidate, open the viewpoint farther north rather than a Kyoto city camera.

First time in Kyoto?

Plan your route

Gion and Higashiyama are across the city from Arashiyama. If time is short, spend a day walking one area rather than rushing between them. Amanohashidate is farther north and needs a separate outing.

When to visit

Maruyama Park is a spring blossom choice; Arashiyama draws autumn leaf seekers. Peak dates shift, so consult local bloom and foliage reports.

Local food to try

After walking, choose simple warm yudofu tofu or an obanzai meal of several home-style dishes.
