祇園新橋伝統的建造物群保存地区

This beautiful street full of Japanese culture and the building are magnificent.

Situation at 7 am on Sunday, August 25, 2024. I feel like I don't need anyone.

It is a spot where you can see the most beautiful scenery in Kyoto, and is always featured on tourist posters and Kyoto tourism TV programs. There are old Kyoto townhouses lined up here, all of which give off the feeling of being a lively red-light district typical of Gion, giving it a different atmosphere than the merchant houses of Rakuchu. The gentle murmuring of the Shirakawa River, the Yamato Bridge, Tatsumi Bridge, and Shinbashi that straddle it, the stone pavement, the shrine of Tatsumi Daimyojin, the red torii gate, and the Jizo shrine at the foot of the bridge... This is exactly the scenery of Kyoto.

There are many elegant and delicious restaurants scattered around the area, and it is a place you should stop by at least once when you come to Kyoto.

I wanted to come when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.
