OMO5 Kyoto Sanjo

Walking along the promenade of Kyoto

The Sanjo area is filled with Kyoto’s livelier charms—think retrofitted machiya townhouses offering places to shop, dine, drink, or relax over green-tea lattes and coffee. Stroll beneath the willow trees along the nearby Takase River canal for still more classic scenes dotted with temples and other history-laden spots.
