Exploring Gion, the GEISHA DISTRICT of Kyoto! - Japan Vlog

Gion is the geisha district of Kyoto, an area with old streets and traditional Japanese wooden houses (machiya). It's absolutely beautiful, and my favourite of the old areas of Kyoto.

Gion is also the area of Kyoto where you have a chance of spotting a geisha. It's where the geisha tea houses and theatres are, where the geisha and maiko live and work. I've heard it's a magical place to explore in the evening and at night time.

Gion is also home to what my guidebook said is "the loveliest street in the whole of Asia" - Shirakawa-Minami Dori, which you can see in the video.
