Starting from Kiyamachi-dori, cross the Guri Bridge to the east side of the Kamogawa River, which can effectively avoid the crowds of Shijo Bridge. Then go north to the starting point of the Gion Shirakawa River. From here, walk northeast and along the Shirakawa River, and you can go all the way to Heian Shrine; during the cherry blossom season, the entire road will be light pink.
These are places where you can watch the night view while walking and avoid the crowds. You can also try walking to Nijo Castle.

Baichuan Nantong is about 200 meters long. It is a walking path paved with stones. Along the Baichuan River, there are many cherry trees and willow trees. There are new-style tea houses and old-fashioned pavilions. The scenery is pleasant. Shirakawa Nantong can be said to be one of the most beautiful streets in Kyoto, especially at night and when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.
