Kiyamachi Riverside Bar Row
Pontocho¥¥
La franja del canal Kiyamachi, paralela a Pontocho, llena de pequeños bares e izakaya con vistas al río Takase: cócteles originales, highballs baratos y un ambiente más animado y joven que el del callejón de Pontocho, más formal.
Better for bar-hopping than for settling in one place all night, since most venues are tiny, one-room bars. Expect a cover or table charge (typically a few hundred yen) at sit-down bars, common practice across Japan.
