Gion is a beautiful, exotic district that gets even more beautiful at night. I live near this district and very much enjoy a stroll through the area. Also, as a member of the major festival that celebrates the area, I am passionate and knowledgeable about the beautiful, subtle, and authentic atmosphere. It is my pleasure to share the beauty of the historic district with you. Gion is the famous geisha quarter on the eastern bank of the Kamo River. While Gion's true origins were in teahouses catering to weary visitors to the nearby shrine Yasaka-jinja, by the mid-18th century, the area was Kyoto's largest pleasure district. On this tour, you will enjoy the history and culture of the Gion area while walking at a leisurely pace. Along the way, you will learn more about geisha education and their unique training system. The area also has many beautiful historical streets and paths.
We will meet at Minamiza Kabuki Theater in Gion. During this tour, you will experience the following places; - Miyagawa-cho street (One of the five geisha districts) - Kenninji Zen temple (The oldest Zen temple in Kyoto) - Gion district (the most famous geisha district of the five) - Gion Shirakawa Street (Pretty street described as "perhaps one of the prettiest streets in all Asia" in a major travel magazine) The tour ends at the final attraction in the downtown area.
