Kyoto's Gion is the city's hub of traditional arts and entertainments and its most famous geisha district. Exploring here is a delight, like taking a step back in time - the atmospheric grey flagstone streets are lined with wooden buildings, the possibility of a geisha appearing from an alleyway, hurrying off to an appointment, always an intriguing possibility.

More piece of art than plate of food, you'll be served this must-try culinary experience to enjoy (and admire) while in Kyoto.
