Tour of Gion

Kyoto
2 hours 30 min

(Highlights) Located in the north-east of JR Kyoto station, Gion district is where entertainment facilities and natural beauties are combined: banks on both sides of Kamogawa river where you can spend time sitting, chatting and cooling down, roads on the sides of a smaller river where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll, a whole variety of restaurants and eateries on both sides of "Ponto-cho" alley about three meters in width, shops on the sidewalks of the main road where various items of goods are on display and Yasaka shrine in the eastern end, and so on. The area bustles with people, constituting a striking contrast to the northern areas of the city where many temples and shrines serenely stand. (How to enjoy) Walking along the narrow roads, sidewalks of the main road and banks of Kamo-gawa river will give you a great enjoyment, both physically and spiritually. In particular, you will be amazed at the countless variety of restaurants along the narrow path of "Ponto-cho" district, where you will never miss your favorite food. You can also enjoy seeing "Kamogawa-odori" dance in the theater in that area. There is a huge variety of souvenir shops selling goods representing the traditional Japanese culture. The "Gion Festival " held in July is a spectacular event which you should not miss. There is "Nishiki-ichiba" shopping street nearby, where hundreds of shops selling food items stand. (Others) You can go to Gion by bus for a fare of 230 yen.
