Lies perpendicular to the southern side of the busy Shijo Street, Hanami-koji Street attracts the visitors with its promising free meeting with Geisha and Maiko, one of few area in Japan where the culture of Geisha has been lasted for decades. I was told to come to this street at evening, to get a glimpse of Geisha and Maiko on their way to work. However, if you have a lot of fortune, I think it is better to appreciate the performance of Geisha in one of the old teahouses along the street.

One of the nicest parts of Gion. The best place to catch maiko (geisha in training) during the evening. Wonder the side streets and get lost. Don't be shy about entering a tea house.
This place is famous for its Geisha. Geisha is considered high class entertainer and they don''t simply show up in public. The only time you can spot geisha at street when they rushing to get in taxi and snap! they are gone.
Another traditional temple right at Gion area.
The Huajian Road is in the middle of the famous garden. Today, I want to tell you that while its popularity is rising, it also brings the burden of privacy for local people, especially the interference of tourists in the private road in the Huajian Road without permission to photograph freely, Finally, the residents were forced to put up with the Kanban regulation "Any photographer will fine 10000 yen" on October 25, 2019! So when you come here and I want to see geisha, you must observe the rules, don't be punished!
