The street was empty and only a handful of shops were open. Many close on Mondays and/or Tuesdays so try to avoid those days when you plan to get here. Not sure how crowded it could be, though. We haven't seen many tourists during our three days stay here at all.

There are quite a variety of restaurants along this stretch of road. Will recommend any tourist to allocate time to visit this area!

(Trip was made back then on 26 Nov 2019, 2 years before the Covid-19 Pandemic hit) We thought it would be bustling with activity but the streets were quiet and bare when we visited 2 years ago. It’s quite a nice neighbourhood for a walk but unfortunately a lot of the shops were closed. While Kyoto was suffering from over-tourism, it’s neighbouring prefecture in Shiga suffers from the lack of it (pre-Covid-19 times of course). Really hope that the town can pick itself up once Japan opens up for tourists again.

It's a nice place to stroll around. There are a lot of souvenir shops and food shops. If you walk a little further, you will find "Yobancho square" which has different kinds of restaurants.
