Gion is Kyoto's most famous geisha district, known for its traditional wooden machiya houses and teahouses. During winter, Gion transforms into a picturesque scene straight out of a fairytale. The snow-covered streets and the soft glow of lanterns create a romantic and nostalgic ambiance. Take a stroll through the narrow alleys, and if you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of a geisha or maiko hurrying to their appointments. Enjoy a traditional tea ceremony or indulge in a delicious meal at one of the many charming restaurants in the area.
