Gion

District Kyoto, Japan

The Geisha district Gion

Gion is a district of the city of Kyoto. It developed in the Middle Ages, with the aim of hosting pilgrims visiting the Yasaka shrine, and only later became one of the most renowned geisha districts.

Gion is surrounded by traditional Japanese houses, some of which are teahouses where wealthy men of Kyoto come to be entertained by geisha.
