Hanamikoji Street is the most famous street in Kyoto’s historic Gion district and the heart of the city’s traditional geisha culture.
Lined with beautifully preserved wooden teahouses, exclusive restaurants, and elegant machiya townhouses, the street offers a glimpse into Kyoto’s refined past. In the evening, the lantern-lit atmosphere creates a unique setting where visitors may catch a rare glimpse of geisha or maiko on their way to appointments.
Join one of our walking tours and discover the stories, traditions, and hidden corners of Gion with an experienced local guide.
