A beautiful, and truly japanese-atmosphere alley nearby higashi chaya district. I do recommend people to stop by here instead ofbjust heading straight to higashi chaya district.

Beautifully preserved traditional geisha district. Not many shops so very calm and peaceful to walk. Right next to the river.

The Japanese history journey (200 years ago) begins here - you would see a short lane with typical ancient Japanese architectures and decorations. The scene looks more beautiful and creates a holistic elegant picture when you cross the bridge and look from the other side.

Nice and quiet compared to the main areas of Higashi Chaya. Not as many shops, of course, but one side is lined with trees and faces the river.

A wonderful cluster of preservation tea houses located by the river. Quaint , peaceful and definitely worth a visit to just stroll down this former entertainment district of times gone by. The ambience is one of serenity and calmness and one could always pop into one of the cafes here to enjoy a snack or a beverage. The wooden architectures themselves are most interesting both externally n internally and a walk through between the small alleyways is also fascinating. It’s a delightful stopover to soothe yourselves before moving on to the more boisterous areas of your sightseeing journey.
