Gion
Overview
Gion is Kyoto’s most iconic geisha district, where cobblestone streets, machiya townhouses, and traditional teahouses preserve the refined elegance of old Kyoto. In the evening, you may catch a glimpse of a maiko or geiko heading to an engagement. Landmarks like Yasaka Shrine, Hanamikoji Street, and Gion Corner showcase Kyoto’s living traditions. A must-visit for those wanting to experience the soul of classical Japan.
