Gion (祇園) is Kyoto's most famous geisha district.
Backstreet of the Gion shijyou.(祇園四条)
Cute maiko.
Spotted Yojiya again.

The most popular area of Gion is Hanami-koji Street from Shijo Avenue to Kenninji Temple.
A nice (and expensive) place to dine, the street and its side alleys are lined with preserved machiya houses many of which now function as restaurants, serving Kyoto style kaiseki ryori (Japanese haute cuisine) and other types of local and international meals.
Interspersed among the restaurants are a number of ochaya (teahouses), the most exclusive and expensive of Kyoto's dining establishments, where guests are entertained by maiko and geiko.

Spotted 2 pretty lady with Kimono but tehy were walking too fast.
This street is famous on their Kyo-ryori (Kyoto Cuisine) which is very expensive so
I didn't have my lunch at this area.

The streets are quite dead during day time.
Maiko or geisha only appears during night time.
I suggest if you want to visit this place, come during night time.
