🗺️ Artist Alley

The "Geisha Alley" on the west side of Kagurazaka connects to the Minami-Yokocho and Oguri Street. In the past, many entertainers would pass through this road on their way to the "Minban" offices, which is how it got its name. The winding, narrow staircase is named the "Atami-yu Stairs" due to its proximity to the bathhouse "Atami-yu." This small road, only 20 to 30 meters long, is home to several renowned dining establishments. Among them are a Spanish restaurant recommended by the Michelin Guide - Tokyo Bib Gourmand and an elegant Japanese restaurant. On either side of the stone steps, old wooden buildings and modern shops are interspersed, creating a unique blend. When night falls, the dazzling lights add another layer of charm to Geisha Alley, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll while taking photos with a camera.
