A local would say...

The quieter twin of famous Sannen-zaka — same Edo stones, half the crowds.

The gentler, quieter companion to Sannen-zaka, this preserved stone-paved lane connects the Higashiyama sightseeing district at a more leisurely pace. Traditional wooden storefronts and small craft shops line both sides. Slightly less trafficked than Sannen-zaka, making it the more atmospheric choice.
