Gion (Geisha district): Gion corner
  • Tip Rating:
  • Well you can meet with the geishas in the narrow streets in Gion and also can taste the tea ceromony(chado) by them for 30.000 jy in some houses. I advice you to see a Bunraku in Gion..japanese puppet show for about 1000jy and you can have a chado in the same place nearly the same prize.
