💡 Tips for Visitors

Many traditional restaurants and exclusive establishments are reservation-only and may require Japanese language ability or a local introduction. Visit during late afternoon to explore the atmospheric alleyways in daylight, then stay for dinner as the lanterns illuminate the streets. The main street has English-friendly cafes and shops, but carry cash as smaller venues in the back alleys often don't accept cards.
