Evening Plan

If you have free time in the evening, we recommend Gion Area 祇園.

Hanamikoji Street 花見小路 (in Gion Area) is the most famous street to find Geisha and Maiko; if you go there in the evening, you might meet one.

*The time that you are most likely to find them is around 6:30pm-8:00pm.

The area is Kyoto’s downtown so you can enjoy night life there as well.

To get there: Take City Bus No.206 from NanajoHorikawa 七条堀川 and get off at Gion 祇園, then walk west on Shijo Street 四条通 (4 mins walk). Or you can take subway from Kyoto Sta. to Shijo Sta. 四条駅 (2 stops) and walk east on Shijo Street 四条通 (10 mins walk).
