On this night tour of Gion, we'll explore Kyoto's historic geisha district as night falls.

Description

We will meet at the corner of Kawaramachi Garden, in front of the big clock, to start our night tour of Gion, the geisha quarter of Kyoto.

We will enter the authentic district, welcomed by typical Japanese lanterns. We will learn about the culture and the meaning of the inscriptions on the lanterns.

Next, we will walk through the district's busy and hidden streets, including Hanamikoji Street. Seeing the traditional wooden houses illuminated by dim lights will be memorable. We will also visit notable sites, such as Yasaka Shrine.

During our tour, we may encounter maiko or geikos, the apprentice geishas, while appreciating the symbolism and colors of their attire.

We will conclude our night tour at Sanj? ?hashi Bridge after approximately 3 hours.
