Gion District (Kyoto)

#mytraveldiary

Gion, Kyoto’s geisha district, is a place where time seems to slow down. The narrow streets lined with traditional wooden machiya houses felt like stepping back into old Japan. In the evening, the paper lanterns glowed warmly, and I caught glimpses of geiko and maiko hurrying to their appointments. I wandered past teahouses, hearing faint music and laughter drifting out. The mix of elegance and mystery made it magical. I stopped for matcha and wagashi at a small teahouse, savoring the moment. Gion isn’t just a neighborhood; it’s a glimpse into Kyoto’s cultural heartbeat. #mytraveldiary
