If you get tired of the crowds of tourists milling about, the Kyoto Botanical Garden is a nice place where mostly only locals go to. The price of admission (200 yen) is cheap compared to other sites in Kyoto. There are lots of sakura trees on the grounds, so it is especially beautiful in the spring. There is also a greenhouse / conservatory (200 yen admission) that has lots of beautiful or weird exotic plants. This sketch is from inside the greenhouse. Since we had limited time and it was still too cold for most of the cherry blossoms to bloom, we spent most of our time inside the greenhouse. I'd definitely suggest a trip there if you have time and are tired of looking at temples.
Here's a google map of the Kyoto Botanical Garden:
