Exploring Kyoto's Geisha District: GION
[Turn on CC for key facts about Gion] Welcome back to my Walking in Japan series! In this video, join me as we explore the ancient town of Gion, also known as the Geisha District of Kyoto. Our walk begins at the iconic Kiyomizu-dera Temple, perched high on the eastern hills and illuminated by the golden hour. We then descend to the historic neighborhood of Gion where the narrow streets are lined with wooden houses, restaurants, teahouses and shops. Gion is the one of the last places where you can spot a real Geisha so keep your eyes peeled :) Gion is a haven for food and a marvel of Architecture. It offers different vibes during the day, at night and throughout the four seasons of Japan. Whether you’re a tourist or a seeker of spiritual experiences, Gion’s blend of history, architecture, and natural beauty captivates all who visit.
