Gion

Get teleported to another century in Gion area. The famous Geisha area in Kyoto which still runs the same for centuries! During the day, hundreds of people dress the Kimono for pictures and makes you feel you jumped in time. Is very touristic but still very lovely to explore. #beautifuldestinations #wintergetaway

Even without a Ryokan reservation, a walk around Gion - especially at night - will transport you to another world. If in Kyoto do not miss this place for extra ordinary experience. Central to main attractions you can get immersed in this area. Full of private houses some converted to small restaurants. Also the training of Maiko’s who lead a private life in the various dormitories Would recommend both walking through the small streets during the day and evening. Gion was part of the visit we had with Kyōto bike tour again recommended for all the additional information . If you want to really understand the beauty and history then go on one of the many guided tours ( not expensive.) It will tie in the buildings with the history of Gion. You can also just wonder around taking pictures too! So many places lit up that makes it a great day or night place to visit .... and felt totally safe. #givethanks #givethanks

Kyoto is always the most temperament with the temperament of the kimono. While in the flowery area of Kyoto, wearing a kimono, walking in the alley, it is very comfortable to take pictures. A lot of old-fashioned Kyomachiya on both sides, here is the place where the Memoirs of Geisha happened! Therefore, to this day, there are many shops in the two markets, which are still tea houses, and there will be geisha performing here. At the end of the flower-seeing path, there is also a temple with a history of Kyoto, Jianren Temple. One of the national treasures of the Jianren Temple is the most famous figure of the god of the gods. For the photo, the view of the courtyard is the best. However, Jianren Temple has not allowed commercial photography to enter now, but ordinary photo taking is still awkward! ( )

As a famous entertainment area and a place where geisha gathers on the east coast of Kyoto's Kamogawa, Gion, although it was a teahouse area that was originally set up to visit the tired tourists of the Yasaka Shrine, it has become the most popular play area in Kyoto with constant development. It is now one of the most famous and representative regions in Kyoto. In the alleys of the traditional Japanese buildings, encountering Japanese-style rickshaws, there are three or two tourists wearing kimonos, and there is no sense of contradiction with the surrounding grass and trees. For a moment, I suddenly became embarrassed, whether I crossed the time and space and came to the distant Edo period.
