In fact, Zouyuan is a Geisha area in Kyoto, which can now be regarded as the most representative area in Kyoto. In the daytime, you can find restaurants and teahouses in the 7th century. Many tourists like to relax here and walk on the road. You can also see Geisha in a hurry. Maybe they will pass by with you. But the most vivid time here is in the evening, every evening, there will be a lantern emitting a weak light, you can see a light in the back of the paper window emitting a soft light, and even you can see that during the internship geisha are working in a hurry. Zouyuan is well known for its annual summer festival. Every time Zongyuan Festival comes, many people will play the most beautiful Zongyuan music with flutes, gongs and drums in the luxurious decorated floats. Watching them pass through the street will attract many tourists to watch it here, which makes it very lively. Some statistics show that there are nearly 1 million people going to watch it every year. In the Memoirs of movie Geisha in Zouyuan Geisha Street, there was a scene that was actually a north-south street in the middle of Zouyuan Street, because it maintained the ancient style of Kyoto, so it was very famous.

    As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I don't have real-time access to current reviews. However, Gion in Kyoto generally receives positive reviews for its preserved historic charm, traditional architecture, and the opportunity to experience geisha culture. Visitors often appreciate the atmospheric streets, teahouses, and the chance to witness geisha or maiko. Keep in mind that experiences may vary, so checking recent reviews online or travel platforms for the latest insights would provide more accurate and up-to-date information.

    The kimono is very beautiful. It's a very colorful, feminine outfit. and walking is a bit uncomfortable and I feel so hot. However, if you want to take a lot of pretty pictures, be sure to try it on.
