Step back in time and discover the historic Gion district in Kyoto. Known as the city's most famous geisha district, Gion is a place where tradition and modernity coexist. Take a leisurely stroll along Hanami-koji Street, lined with traditional wooden machiya houses and teahouses. Keep an eye out for geisha and maiko (apprentice geisha) dressed in their elegant kimono, as they gracefully make their way through the streets. Gion is also home to several historic temples and shrines, such as Yasaka Shrine and Kennin-ji Temple. Don't forget to try some traditional Kyoto cuisine, such as kaiseki (multi-course meal) or yudofu (tofu hot pot), in one of the district's charming restaurants.
