Gion is Kyoto's famous geisha district, where traditional wooden machiya houses line the streets, creating a picturesque setting for visitors. It's the spot to catch a glimpse of geiko and maiko going about their daily activities or enjoy an exclusive dining experience at an ochaya. With charming restaurants, tea houses, and cultural shows, Gion offers a taste of old-world Japan mixed with modern-day allure. Don't forget your camera, but remember to be respectful if you spot a geiko or maiko! You can catch a Geisha show by purchasing tickets at Gion Corner or online before hand. I purchased my tickets two days in advance for around $46 each which included tea with a geisha prior to the show
