Overview
Come with us on foot to visit the historic streets of Gion!
We start with a walk along the Kamo River, which is very popular with the locals. We will then discover Shirakawa Street, which marks the entrance to the traditional town.
We are visiting the Yasaka Shinto shrine, a sacred site dating from the 7th century. We go through the old town passing through Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka, where the traditional city of Kyoto awaits us.
We then cross Maruyama Park. This park is ideal for enjoying nature. Especially during the cherry blossom season in spring or autumn! Finally, we end our visit with a walk down Hanamikoji Street, where the kyomachiya, traditional Kyoto houses, transport us back in time.
After this visit, you will know more about the history and culture of Gion and Japan. You will also be full of memories with this traditional urban landscape! Are you coming? We are waiting for you!
