Om

Raske fakta: The district hosts over 200 traditional teahouses where geiko and maiko perform Japanese classical dance. Lantern-lit streets evoke the atmosphere of the Edo period, attracting photographers and culture lovers alike.

Høydepunkter: Walking the cobblestone lanes at dusk, you might spot a maiko in a vibrant kimono disappearing into a teahouse. The district’s architecture features wooden machiya townhouses with latticed windows, preserving centuries-old craftsmanship.

Insidertips

  • Wear comfortable shoes for walking on uneven cobblestones.
  • Visit on weekdays to avoid larger weekend crowds.
  • Respect photography rules, especially where geiko and maiko are present.
  • Explore side alleys for quieter photo opportunities away from the main tourist paths.
