    This stone-paved bridge spanning the Shirakawa River is about a seven-minute walk from Keihan Railway's Gion-Shijo Station in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City. It was selected as an important preservation district for groups of traditional buildings, and is a place where you can enjoy traditional Kyoto scenes. The views are why the bridge is often used for productions such as dramas and movies.

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
