Walks in Nakagyo
Karasuma-Oike and the merchant machiya

Kyoto's kitchen, the covered market, the Teramachi arcades, and a shrine for scholars.

Sorted by distance from the start of karasuma-oike and the merchant machiya. Good for stitching together a longer day.
The Imperial Palace and the gravel park
The vast court park, the old palace walls, a shrine for the pear tree, and the noble streets.
Pontocho and Kiyamachi: the lantern lanes
Kyoto's narrowest dining alley, a cherry-lined canal, and machiya restaurants after dark.
Gion: the lanes and the willows
Hanami-koji's teahouses, the willow-lined Shirakawa canal, and the shrine the district grew around.
Nishijin: the weaving district
The loom-clatter quarter, the textile centre, a star-diviner's shrine, and quiet machiya lanes.
