Located near “Gion Higashi,” one of Kyoto's five “flower” districts (花街).: A short stroll south will lead you towards the Shirakawa Dori, where many restaurants and shops, housed in traditional wooden structures, along with cherry blossom trees (a popular area to view sakura in the spring) line the river.

Streets are paved with cobblestone steps, and as you move further east, you will find the Shirakawa River lined with weeping willow trees.
