"This is a famous geisha district, meaning you have the chance to see a real geisha in person. But please remember to take NO photos of them! Here you'll find many restaurants and shops, noted for their tall and tightly packed structures. You can attend a maiko hosted dinner here or a twice-daily cultural show at Gion Corner. "
