Shinbashi Dori, Kyoto

Shinbashi Dori is a beautifully preserved street in the Gion district of Kyoto. To retain the old-world charm of Shinbashi, no neon lighting is used here.

The steet of Shinbashi is really an alley of cobbled stones. The shops, mostly ochayas, line both sides of it. Many have their verandas protruding into the street on the upper floor. They are called hon nikaidate machiya chaya yoshiki, meaning "two-storey merchant's teahouse".
