Gion is Kyoto’s old town, packed with ramshackled 17th century wooden buildings housing restaurants and tearooms. It’s also where the Geisha girls (or Geiko girls as they call them in Kyoto) reside. Apparently there are only 1000 Geisha’s in Japan today, with the majority living. Tried, as we did, we did not manage to see a real Geisha, but we did see some Japanese youth regaled in their finery.
