What's disappointing

I barely saw any cats, so it was pretty disappointing compared with my expectations×5
The alley is dark and has many abandoned houses and closed shops, which makes it feel eerie×4
There was trash, wet ground, and slippery stone steps, so it felt dirty and inconvenient×3

What's still okay

Cat statues and paintings are scattered around, making it charming
If you're lucky, you might see real cats
It's a nice quick stop as a walking route down from Sensoji

💡 If you still go

If you're going mainly to see cats, lower your expectations. It's better to visit in the daytime and combine it with a short walk from Sensoji. It's safest to go before sunset.
