Before you go

A city walk afterwards

Slow down on Jozenji-dori

Use public crossings and open paths. Enjoy the avenue without expecting a festival or winter display every night.

Before you go

A change of plan

If the view is poor or terrace access changes, keep the avenue walk and dinner. In wet weather, choose a confirmed indoor restaurant.

A good way home

Check the journey from your final stop to your accommodation. Leave for your actual last connection or arrange another return option.
