Gion
Historisch, stimmungsvoll, zurückhaltend elegant
Kyotos berühmtestes Geisha-Viertel (Geiko) — hölzerne Machiya-Teehäuser entlang der Hanamikoji-dori, der von Weiden gesäumte Shirakawa-Kanal und eine echte Chance, in der Abenddämmerung eine eilende Maiko zu erblicken. Der Yasaka-Schrein bildet seinen östlichen Rand.

Traditional Tea Ceremony Experience
A hands-on introduction to chado, the way of tea: learning the etiquette of preparing and receiving whisked matcha in a traditional tatami-room setting, usually alongside a short explanation of the ceremony's Zen-influenced philosophy.
Sake Bar Yoramu
A small, wood-panelled Gion sake bar with a rotating list made up entirely of Japanese sake, run by an owner happy to talk visitors through unfamiliar regional styles.
Gion Aoi
A Gion cocktail bar with an unusually wide spirits selection, including rare whiskies, in a calm, low-lit room a short walk from Hanamikoji-dori.
Yasaka Shrine
A vermilion Shinto shrine marking the boundary between Gion and Higashiyama, founded over 1,350 years ago and the home of the Gion Matsuri, one of Japan's most famous festivals every July. Lit by hundreds of hanging lanterns after dark.
