walking around a small shopping arcade

The pic was not in Arashiyama area where I was looking for a tofu, but in the relatively southern part of Kyoto city, Fushimi ward. In the pic, I was walking through a small and local shopping arcade. What I want to say with this pic is that wherever I walked in Kyoto city, always I found and entered small alleys (including a shopping arcade) and streets that consisted of a quasi-spider-web-map.
Anyway, this arcade was totally for locals, so, you couldn't find any Gucci, PRADA and Chanel. Instead, you'll easily find a cheep Japanese wooden clogs, "geta". Looking at the left side of the pic, there is a wihte board showing in hand-writing Japanese that the shop would offer a good geta.
Here was Fushimi, Kyoto, Japan
