Shirakawa Canal

Shirakawa Canal is a charming waterway located in Kyoto's historic Higashiyama district. This picturesque corner of Japan impresses with the tranquility of flowing water, traditional architecture and cherry blossom trees in season.

It's the perfect place for a contemplative stroll amidst traditional Japanese scenery. The canal is a photographic gem, especially at dusk, when the traditional lanterns reflecting in the surface of the water are lit.

Shirakawa is the essence of traditional Kyoto, allowing you to feel the authentic atmosphere of old Japan.
