Crowds here are real: around 10 million people visit each year, so a weekday morning is your best bet for a calmer experience. Check the day's prayer schedule when you arrive if you want to catch a goma fire ritual, and plan the rest of your visit around it.
The grounds are large, with several Important Cultural Property buildings spread beyond the main worship areas, so give yourself enough time to explore. Around the halls and ritual spaces dedicated to Fudo Myoo, keep your voice low and follow standard temple etiquette.
