This smaller entertainment district runs parallel to the Kamo River, directly north of the bigger Gion district. A narrow road that used to house the red light district is now filled with tiny tea houses, bars of all types, izakayas, and other types of night entertainment. During the day, this area is pretty boring but after dark, it's worth a stroll.
One notable place is Bee's Knees, one of Asia's best bars.
Be aware that there are still a few places that operate 'the world's oldest profession' along this district.
