Overview

If you get the opportunity, you should definitely visit the beautiful city of Kyoto, which has been known as the Magical City for many years. There are plenty of amazing attractions to explore. One of the best places to visit is Ponchoto Alley, which is a narrow alleyway running from Shijo-dori to Sanjo-dori, one block west of the Kamogawa River. The alleyway is full of restaurants on both sides, offering a wide range of dining options, from cheap yakitori to traditional and modern Kyoto cuisine, foreign cuisine, and high-end establishments that require connections and a large budget. Another must-see destination is the Gion district, which is Kyoto's geisha district. Here, you can spot hostesses in colorful kimonos on the wooden Tatsumi Bridge or among the upscale Japanese restaurants and boutiques on Hanamikoji Street.
