Kagurazaka is old geisha quarter that’s worth a visit more for an atmospheric stroll than for any particular sights. Its quaint backstreet alleys are lined with ryōtei (upscale, traditional restaurants) and recall bygone days of Edo, or parts of modern Kyoto. They also have some great drinking spots. From Sotobori-dōri, head up Kagurazaka Hill, turn right at Royal Host restaurant, and wander the lanes. If you’re very lucky, in the evening you might catch a glimpse of one of the several dozen geisha who still work in the area.
