Pontocho is one of Kyoto’s most atmospheric and... 1 hour
Pontocho is one of Kyoto’s most atmospheric and historic dining alleys, located between the Kamo River and Kiyamachi Street. Famous for its narrow cobblestone lane lined with traditional wooden buildings, Pontocho is a place where the old and new Kyoto coexist. The area is home to a variety of restaurants, ranging from high-end kaiseki dining and hidden izakayas to modern fusion spots. At night, the lantern-lit path offers a magical setting, and if you're lucky, you might even spot a geisha (or "geiko") on her way to an engagement. Rich in history and full of culinary charm, Pontocho is a must-visit destination for anyone wanting to experience Kyoto's refined nightlife and culture.
Kiyamachi Street is a lively and historic street... 2 hours
Kiyamachi Street is a lively and historic street running parallel to the Kamogawa River in central Kyoto. Once a key transportation route lined with warehouses and merchant houses, it has transformed into one of Kyoto’s most vibrant nightlife and dining districts. The street is known for its mix of traditional charm and modern energy, featuring everything from cozy izakayas and upscale restaurants to bars, cafes, and live music venues. The Takase River, which flows alongside Kiyamachi, adds to the area’s romantic and picturesque atmosphere—especially when illuminated at night or during cherry blossom season. Whether you're seeking local flavors, drinks, or a lively evening out, Kiyamachi offers an authentic slice of Kyoto after dark.
