Old Townscape of Kawaramachi

Stretching west from the ukai (cormorant fishing) viewing boat dock near Nagarabashi Bridge, this charming area is lined with traditional Japanese houses. Along the way, you’ll find a variety of inns, souvenir shops, and restaurants—making it a lovely spot to simply stroll and take in the atmosphere. It’s also a perfect place for a relaxing walk before heading out to watch cormorant fishing.
