Shirakawa Minami-dori & Poetry
白川南通
This street is a 200-meter stone-paved promenade where cherry blossom and willow trees line up along Shirakawa River.
Here, you can find a monument engraved with a poem written by Isami Yoshii, a poet who loved Gion.

“No matter what they say, I love Gion. Even in my sleep, the sound of water flows beneath my pillow”

It is designated as one of the national important preservation district of historic buildings.
On the center of the street there is Tatsumi Daimyojin (Tatsumi-jinja Shrine), where maikos visit.
Shidare-zakura trees located along the street are very beautiful.
The area around Tatsumi Bridge is lit up at night and the atmosphere is fantastic.
Shirakawa is busy and beautiful at night. But it is also good to come here and enjoy the early quiet morning.
