  1. With last month's opening of the Imperial Hotel, Kyoto and now Capella Kyoto, the ancient capital's most storied geisha district is fast becoming a hot spot for luxury hotels. japantimes.co.jp/life/2026/04/ #life #travel #hotels #geisha #kyoto #gion

  2. Ein Besuch im Geisha-Viertel #Gion in #Kyoto gehört für viele Reisende in #Japan fest zum Plan. Doch nur wenige finden den Weg in eines der traditionsreichen Restaurants des Viertels - aus Angst vor hohen Preisen und Sprachbarrieren. Doch die Sorgen sind unbegründet.

  3. Khu phố Gion Kyoto là nơi lưu giữ trọn vẹn vẻ đẹp truyền thống của cố đô Nhật Bản, nổi bật với những con phố lát đá, ngôi nhà gỗ machiya cổ kính và hình ảnh các geisha, maiko duyên dáng. Dạo bước tại Gion, du khách như được trở về quá khứ, cảm nhận nhịp sống chậm rãi và không gian văn hóa đậm chất Nhật Bản giữa lòng Kyoto hiện đại.

  8. "Gion Matsuri and Japanese Festivals": Cerritos College (Los Angeles) Study Abroad in Kyōto, July 15, 2025

    This might be the most gorgeous slideshow you ever see, informative as well about the Gion festival and Kyōto. Japanese festivals are above all presented as Shintō rituals. The Gion Matsuri began in 869 to ward off epidemics, but was ironically canceled during the recent pandemic. Longtime research and insider experiences in Japanese, with guidance by a Gion festival leader, culminate in fascinating information and annotated photos.

  10. A pencil drawing of a Japanese geisha/geiko/geigi woman in the ochaya in Gion Kobu, Kyoto, Japan, in my Strathmore 5.5 x 8.5 Sketch sketchbook. The geisha/geiko woman is giving a confused facial expression on her face.

  11. Tatsumi Daimyōjin (辰巳大明神), festooned with sakura.

    A mischievous tanuki once delighted in hiding beneath the nearby bridge to scare unsuspecting maiko and geisha as they passed by. He was later enshrined here (to calm his still restless spirit).

  12. Last rebuilt in 1907, the 11.7m granite bridge is barely 60cm wide.

    Bubbling up on Hiei-zan, the Shirakawa (白川) eventually flows through Gion. Fine sand would flow down from the mountain, settling on the bed. In the sun it would shine white, giving 'White River' its name.

  13. 🙏BRIDGE OF ASCETICS🌉

    Not too far from Chion-in (知恩院), Gyōja-bashi (行者橋 'Bridge of Ascetics') straddles the Shirakawa River (白川).

    Monks participating in the 'Kaihōgyō' (回峰行) cross the narrow bridge on their 75th day, en route to Yasaka-jinja (八坂神社).

  15. 🐒🧵🙏KUKURIZARU🙈🙉🙊

    When walking through the neighbourhood that tumbles down the hillside from Kiyomizu-dera to Gion, you may notice some odd-shaped talismans hung outside homes and businesses.

    Kukurizaru (くくり猿) are small balls of cloth, most commonly red in colour.
