On this night tour of Gion, we'll discover the historic geisha district of Kyoto.

Description

At the designated time, we'll meet at Kawaramachi Garden, in front of the large clock, to start our night tour of Gion. This area is renowned for its unique charm.

We will enter the most authentic district of the country, welcomed by typical Japanese lanterns. Participants will learn about the cultural significance of the inscriptions on them and the history of the streets of Gion.

Next, we will stroll along both the busiest and hidden streets, including the well-preserved historic Hanamikoji Street. Participants will admire the traditional wooden houses illuminated by soft lights and pass iconic sites like Yasaka Shrine.

During our walk, we will encounter several maiko, or geikos, the apprentice geishas, while observing the symbolism and colors of their attire.

The tour will conclude at Sanj? ?hashi Bridge after a duration of 3 hours.
