Things to do in Kyoto | Japan

Gion is Kyoto’s geisha district, with hostesses in colorful kimonos often sighted on the wooden Tatsumi Bridge, or amid upscale Japanese restaurants and boutiques on Hanamikoji Street. The stage at Gion Corner hosts traditional Kyomai dances, while Kennin-ji Temple is known for its Zen garden and Yasaka Shrine has seasonal festivals in a lantern-lit courtyard. Nightlife ranges from quiet sake bars to buzzing, pub-like izakayas. (Google)

Traveler Notes

The rainy weather brought me back to Kyoto for a bit more sightseeing (I guess the fireworks at Oumi-Hachiman will be cancelled...😢). The sight of sakura in the rain does make it seems more melancholic.
