  • 1. Gion Kyoto
    Gion is a district of Kyoto, Japan, originally developed in the Sengoku period, in front of Yasaka Shrine . The district was built to accommodate the needs of travelers and visitors to the shrine. It eventually evolved to become one of the most exclusive and well-known geisha districts in all of Japan. The term Gion is related to Jetavana. The geisha in Kyoto do not refer to themselves as geisha; instead, they use the local term geiko. While the term geisha means artist or person of the arts, the more direct term geiko means essentially a woman of art.
