Gion is Kyoto's most famous geisha district, known for its traditional wooden machiya houses and teahouses. Take a stroll through the narrow streets of Gion and you might catch a glimpse of a geisha or maiko (apprentice geisha) in their elegant kimono. The district is also home to several historic temples and shrines, such as Yasaka Shrine and Kennin-ji Temple. Don't miss the opportunity to experience a traditional tea ceremony in one of the teahouses.
