京都河原町と木屋町の間の路地Between Kawaramachi and Kiyamachi - two north-south streets in central Kyoto - is a grid of narrow alleys that connect them.
In typical Japanese fashion, the alley has a colorful mix of shops and restaurants.
The man standing at right is a tout for a brothel. On the left is a German themed restaurant. Farther up is a classic Kyoto cafe, Tsukiji.
Just off the main boulevard at the end of the alley is Kawaramachi, one of the main shopping streets in Kyoto. It is filled with middle-class people nicely dressed out for a day of shopping.
Many of them will dip into the alleys to find an offbeat shop, have a coffee, or perhaps enjoy some less salubrious service.
