Pontocho Alley in Kyoto is a charming spot that comes alive at night with its traditional wooden buildings, red lanterns, and riverside dining. This historical geisha district offers a vibrant nightlife scene, with bars and restaurants welcoming both locals and tourists.
Keep an eye out for a Geisha passing. We saw one it was an incredible encounter. So quick that you almost think it was a dream. If you know you know, let us know if you spotted one while you are there & how the experience was!
