Top neighborhoods in Kyoto

Gion

Wander through Gion's narrow lanes where wooden machiya houses transport you to old-world Kyoto. Catch glimpses of geiko and maiko hurrying to appointments in elegant kimono along Hanamikoji Street. Yasaka Shrine's vermillion gates and the willow-lined Shirakawa canal create perfect photo backdrops for culture seekers. Temple gardens offer peaceful retreats from the bustling crowds. Exclusive kaiseki restaurants hide behind unassuming wooden facades, requiring reservations weeks ahead. Artisan shops sell handcrafted kimono accessories and traditional fans until early evening. Visit during morning hours to avoid the tourist crush. The neighborhood is best explored on foot, with the Gion-shijo Station connecting you to greater Kyoto.
