We're in Pontocho
which is in Kyoto.
and we're gonna walk around this kind of like
really old style...
I would say district
And there's lots of really old shops.
If you watch anime or old
dramas....
old japanese Tv shows
you might see some of the similarities
It's usually best to come at night
There's lots of really cool restaurants and things like that.
We're gonna go check it out
It's got a lot of that...
old school feel to it.
Coming here a little later, it might be even more crowded.
We're here at like 7ish.
But it's pretty cool.
We also seem to have gotten stuck behind a tour group.
There's that as well.
These really small streets...
with the very traditional looking Japanese restaurants.
Apparently this place is really really pretty, when it rains.
That's what I was told just a second ago.
I'm loving this.
I feel like the atmosphere here would be a little better, if it was dark out
Check that out.
Little traditional looking
Japanese izakaya.
Type of restaurant.
They got sukiyaki, negi nabe
which is like a soup
broth thing that you stick
meat and stuff in.
Alright, so we got around the tour group.
Dillon what do you think?
You can often see people dressed in kimono
walking down the street
Oh look at the little cute pursues
That's adorable!
Is that a whiskey bar!!!??
Ohhh Snap!
Hallo Dorri?
Hello Dolly. It's written in English
Jazz and Whiskey. I wonder what Japanese Jazz is like.
Too bad it's closed.
Sad panda
It probably opens about 8?
Really really cool area.
It's getting darker too.
The atmosphere is changing a bit.
Some traditional....
shops.
Oh wow.
They got these little side alleys with
all sorts of little goodies in it.
Scary.
Digging this little area up here. This is awesome. Check it!
talking to my self.
There are these
little balcony areas
in the back you can eat at.
The view is fantastic.
You sit on the floor and they have little tables.
We're gonna keep walking through here.
Ohh! Kushikatsu restaurant.
A lot of these places, because it's a touristy area...
they have english menus as well.
So don't have to worry about that too much.
So this has been Ponton.... Pontocho!
By the end of this trip I'll have said that word right.
in the first try.
We're gonna walk around a bit more
See if there's anything else to check out
but if not
It's been Pontocho
Check it out if you're in Kyoto
and you wanna have a few drinks
and
try some traditional Japanese food.
