I’m delighted to share the beauty of this historic district with you. Gion, located on the eastern bank of the Kamo River, is Kyoto’s most famous geisha quarter. Originally developed to serve travelers visiting Yasaka Shrine, it grew into the city’s largest pleasure district by the mid-18th century. On this tour, we’ll explore Gion’s rich history and refined culture at a relaxed pace. You’ll learn about the unique training and traditions of geisha, and stroll through charming, preserved streets that reflect Kyoto’s timeless elegance. As a local resident and a member of a major festival celebrating this district, I deeply appreciate its subtle beauty and authentic atmosphere—and I look forward to sharing it with you.
Tour Highlights – Gion & Surroundings We will begin our journey at the Minamiza Kabuki Theater, a grand and historic landmark in Gion. From there, you’ll enjoy a guided walk through some of Kyoto’s most iconic and culturally rich locations: Miyagawa-cho – One of Kyoto’s five official geisha districts Ebisu Shrine – Dedicated to the deity of wealth and business success Kenninji Temple – The oldest Zen temple in Kyoto Gion District – Japan’s most renowned geisha quarter Hidden Local Chocolate/Ice Cream Shop – A delicious break with authentic local treats Yasaka Shrine – The heart of the Gion area and home to major festivals Gion Shirakawa Street – Described as “perhaps one of the prettiest streets in all Asia” The tour concludes in the picturesque streets of Gion.
