Kiyamachi, Kyoto's biggest nightlife spot, is a one kilometre stretch running parallel to the central Kamo River between two main boulevards, Sanjō and Shijō. On one side of the narrow street, slick-fronted concept restaurants promise cheap drinks and no cover charge. On the other, a shallow, tree-lined canal is laced by arched bridges. It sounds romantic, but the strip is nothing in comparison to Ponto-chō, just one block over.

Sightseeing
The main street of Gion. Hanamikoji Dori is a street not to be missed, especially in the evening when it looks beautiful when the lanterns are lit up. We were hoping to catch a glimpse of a Geisha here and we thought we were lucky

Sannenzaka and Ninenzakaare two of Kyoto's most attractive streets, a pair of gently sloping lanes that lead down from Kiyomizu-dera Temple toward Nene-no-Michi Lane. Lined with beautifully restored traditional shophouses and blissfully free of the overhead power lines that mar the rest of Kyoto
