About

In Kyoto, the allure of old-world beauty is palpable in locations such as Gion, where traditional wooden machiya houses lining Hanami-koji Street transport visitors to a bygone era. The streets are often alive with the sight of geiko and maiko, adding a unique cultural layer to the experience. Nearby, the serene Kiyomizu-dera temple, perched on a hillside, offers sweeping views of the city and showcases the intricate craftsmanship of Japanese architecture, particularly during the cherry blossom season when the trees burst into bloom.
