Tatsumi-bashi Bridge is a atmospheric spot in the Gion area.The area around this small bridge over the Shira-kawa River is usually crowded with tourists taking commemorative photos.Luckily, it was a cold day, so there were not many people around and I was able to enjoy the atmosphere of Kyoto. After crossing Tatsumi-bashi Bridge, the stone pavement continues on, and this is another place where you can feel the atmosphere of Kyoto.

Ponto-cho is one of the five geisha districts (kagai districts) in Kyoto City. It is a long, narrow street that runs between the Kamo River and the Takase River. In the evening, paper lanterns are lit up, and the stone paving makes for a very atmospheric place.

At dusk, the Sannen-zaka Slope and Ninen-zaka Slope areas in Higashiyama are lit up with lights, creating a charming streetscape. However, in recent years, many tourists have flocked to this area, and the charm has been lost in half.Enter Yasaka-dori Street from Higashi-oji Street to the east. At the end of the narrow road, you can see Yasaka Tower, a popular photo spot.
