Gion is Kyoto's famous geisha district, where you can stroll along narrow streets lined with traditional wooden houses and maybe catch a glimpse of a geiko or maiko on their way to entertain guests at teahouses. It's a popular spot for dining at upscale restaurants serving Kyoto cuisine or watching cultural shows at Gion Corner. Don't forget to explore the charming Shirakawa area along the canal for a quieter vibe. Just be respectful if you see a geiko or maiko - no paparazzi moves allowed!
