I just heard the news of Kyoto closing the back alleys/side streets of the Geisha District to tourists starting in April. My friends and I are planning a trip to Kyoto the very same month so I was wondering what other historical districts nearby have similar sights and vibes (I’m not specifically looking for geishas, which is why this ban happened in the first place). Day trips are also welcome, as we plan to go to some cities along Lake Biwa, and Uji. And if somebody has more information on this new rule, like what exact areas they are closing, I would also appreciate it a lot! Thanks!
