Calle Hanami-koji

Calle Hanami-koji is the historic heart of Kyoto's Gion district, famous for its beautifully preserved wooden machiya townhouses and traditional teahouses. Visitors flock here for a glimpse of authentic pre-modern Japan and the chance to spot geiko or maiko walking between evening appointments. Expect a highly atmospheric but crowded stroll, especially during the atmospheric dusk hours.
