有名 is a na-adjective. When a na-adjective directly modifies a noun, it takes な.

• 有名な神社 = a famous shrine
• 静かな道 = a quiet road

By contrast, i-adjectives do not need な:

• 高い山 = a tall/high mountain

So 有名な is just the normal attributive form used before a noun.

Here, の links 神社 and 近く and means something like near the shrine or the vicinity of the shrine.

• 神社 = shrine
• 近く = nearby area / neighborhood / vicinity
• 神社の近く = the area near the shrine

This is very common in Japanese:

• 駅の前 = in front of the station
• 家の後ろ = behind the house
• 学校の近く = near the school

So の is marking a relationship between two nouns.

The は marks the area near the famous shrine as the topic of the first part of the sentence.

So the sentence is structured like:

• As for the area near the famous shrine, there are too many tourists, so...

This does not mean near itself is the subject. It means the speaker is setting up that location as the thing being talked about.

Compare:

• 神社の近くは観光客が多い。 = As for the area near the shrine, there are many tourists.

Using は often gives a broader speaking about X feeling.

In this sentence, 観光客が多すぎる means there are too many tourists.

With 多い / 少ない, the thing that is numerous or few is often marked with が:

• 人が多い = there are many people
• 車が少ない = there are few cars

So:

• 神社の近くは観光客が多すぎる = As for near the shrine, there are too many tourists

Here:

• 神社の近くは = topic/location being discussed
• 観光客が = the thing that is too numerous

If you used 観光客は, the nuance would shift more toward as for tourists..., which is less natural here.

多すぎる is made from:

• 多い = many / a lot
• 〜すぎる = too much / too many / excessively

So 多すぎる means too many or excessive.

Examples:

• 人が多すぎる = there are too many people
• 高すぎる = too expensive
• 食べすぎる = to eat too much

In your sentence, 観光客が多すぎる means there are too many tourists.

Both ので and から can mean because, but they have slightly different nuances.

• ので sounds a bit more explanatory, softer, and often more natural in neutral or polite statements.
• から can sound more direct or subjective.

So:

• 観光客が多すぎるので、彼女は静かな道を選びました。 = Because there were too many tourists, she chose a quiet road.

This sounds smooth and natural.

Very roughly:

• ので = because / since
• から = because

In many cases both are possible, but ので fits well when calmly giving a reason.

Just like 有名, 静か is also a na-adjective.

So before a noun, it becomes:

• 静かな道 = a quiet road

But when it ends the sentence, you do not use な:

• この道は静かです。 = This road is quiet.

So:

• before a noun: 静かな
• as a predicate: 静かだ / 静かです

The particle を marks the direct object of the verb.

• 選ぶ = to choose
• 道を選ぶ = to choose a road/path

So 静かな道を選びました means (she) chose a quiet road.

This is the normal object marking pattern in Japanese:

• 本を読む = read a book
• 店を出る = leave the store
• 道を選ぶ = choose a road

Because the sentence is describing what she did after seeing the situation.

• 選ぶ = choose
• 選びます = chooses / will choose
• 選びました = chose

The first clause gives the reason:

• 観光客が多すぎるので = because there were too many tourists

Then the main action follows:

• 彼女は静かな道を選びました = she chose a quiet road

So the past tense shows a completed action in the story.

Japanese often omits subjects when they are understood, so 彼女は is not always strictly necessary.

A shorter version could be:

• 有名な神社の近くは観光客が多すぎるので、静かな道を選びました。

That could still be understood as she chose a quiet road, depending on context.

However, adding 彼女は makes the subject explicit and removes ambiguity. It clearly tells us she is the one who chose the quiet road.

A useful way to break it down is:

1. 有名な神社の近くは
   = As for the area near the famous shrine,

2. 観光客が多すぎるので、
   = because there are too many tourists,

3. 彼女は静かな道を選びました。
   = she chose a quiet road.

So the pattern is:

• Topic/location + description/reason + main action

This is very common in Japanese. The reason clause comes before the main result clause.

Yes. Japanese has several ways to express nearby ideas.

• 神社の近く = near the shrine / the area near the shrine
• 神社に近いところ = a place close to the shrine

In this sentence, 神社の近く is the most natural and compact expression. It sounds very normal when talking about a location or area.

So while other phrasings are possible, 神社の近く is simple and idiomatic.

道 literally means road, street, path, or way, depending on context.

In this sentence, 静かな道 most naturally means:

• a quiet road
• a quiet street
• a quieter path

The best English translation depends on the situation. If she is walking in a tourist area, quiet street or quiet path may sound more natural than road.

So yes, 道 is flexible, and context decides the best English word.
