Original Text
This is one of the popular scenic spots in Kyoto. In the early days, it was a Geisha gathering area in Kyoto. It was also a traditional busy block in Kyoto. It was a bit similar to Jiufen Street in Taiwan. You can come here after two years and three years. Although the buildings here are relatively old, they are full of antique charm. There are tea rooms, snack shops selling antique early tastes, and shops renting Japanese style clothes. There are many tricyclists who wear more "exposed" clothes on this street, who are diligently and diligently soliciting customers, and there are also some small temples to visit. Many of them are fox fairy temples for marriage, but because they can't understand Japanese, they dare not worship or make promises, because they don't know if they will be like some temples in Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia, they have to return "thanks". You don't want to leave any "hands and tails" or "foreshadows" in order to avoid strange accidents. Ha-ha, ghost movies are too much to watch. I think all the way is slate road. Because we wear Japanese-style clothes and Japanese footwear, it's a bit difficult to walk and slow to walk. But it's also because of this dress, so it really has a different flavor. Here you can see a large area of old wooden houses with ancient charm, which should have a history of 32 years. There are many snack shops with high prices. There is also a "Yilan Ramen" branch here. Friends who are too lazy to stand in line at Dalton Home in Osaka can choose to eat in this one. It tastes exactly the same.

    As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I don't have real-time access to current reviews. However, Gion in Kyoto generally receives positive reviews for its preserved historic charm, traditional architecture, and the opportunity to experience geisha culture. Visitors often appreciate the atmospheric streets, teahouses, and the chance to witness geisha or maiko. Keep in mind that experiences may vary, so checking recent reviews online or travel platforms for the latest insights would provide more accurate and up-to-date information.

    The kimono is very beautiful. It's a very colorful, feminine outfit. and walking is a bit uncomfortable and I feel so hot. However, if you want to take a lot of pretty pictures, be sure to try it on.
