I passed through this preserved street on the way to Adashino and Otagi Nenbutsuji. The traditional houses along the road gave it a nostalgic feel. It's not a long stretch but nice to wander and take in the atmosphere before heading to the temples.

I stumbled upon this street by chance, and it was good fortune that brought us together. It's out of the crowds, has cafés, restaurants (even a vegetarian one), and lots of old antique-like shops with knick-knacks. If you're observant enough, you'll notice a few religious shrines sprinkled in niches around the walkway and street.

This is such a lovely place off the beaten tourist trail. Takes a bit more of a walk to get here but so worth it. Spend the time once you are finished walking the lovely quiet back roads to the tourist bamboo forest and get to enjoy a lovely part of Kyoto.

Saga Toriimoto Preserved Street is a real gem in Kyoto. Walking through this historic street feels like stepping back in time. Traditional wooden houses, small shops and tea houses give the area a very special charm. It is much quieter than the very touristy areas, perfect for getting to know Kyoto from a more authentic side. It is particularly nice to simply stroll through the street without a fixed destination, admire the architecture and soak up the relaxed atmosphere. A wonderful place for anyone who wants to experience historic Kyoto in peace.

It was quite a walk from Arashiyama Bamboo Forest to get to Ayuchaya Hiranoya, a beautiful historic restaurant located in the Sagano area of Kyoto. It is well known for its traditional matcha tea and Japanese sweets. We ordered matcha (of course!), Yuzu and sweets. Sakura cha was offered before our food was served.

Cute little historical street with cafes and crafts but I think also residential. There weren’t many people there, had a serene vibe and nice to see something traditional while in town to see the bamboo forest

Lovely and quiet street to walk along with photogenic spots to take photos. Good for introverts and people wanting to escape the tourists during PEAK season

About a 30-minute walk from the train station, this small area of preserved buildings is well worth the detour from the main drag. Easy walking and some interesting shops and buildings along the way. Highly recommended.
