Ninen-zaka 二念坂 during Blue Hour

Along with Sannen-zaka, Ninen-zaka (二念坂 or 二年坂) is one of the most attractive traditional streets of Kyoto. Lined with little souvenir shops, cafés, and restaurants, it is frequently crowded with tourists. Around dinnertime, however, the crowds thin out and a lovely dusk scene presents itself. Right around the corner from beautiful Kiyomizu-dera and Yasaka-no-To, it's a hotspot for pretty sights.
