💡 Tips for Visitors

Visit in the evening for the best atmosphere when the traditional lanterns are lit. Many high-end ryotei restaurants require reservations and can be expensive, but there are also affordable cafes and bakeries perfect for casual visits. The main street has English-friendly establishments, but exploring the narrow side alleys (where the real charm lies) may require some adventurous spirit as English signage is limited.
