After filling our tummies with delicious sweet desserts, a few steps down the street, we arrived at Gion Hanamikoji. Gion is the famous Geisha district in Kyoto and Hanamaikoji is the most popular area of Gion where its street and side alleys are lined with preserved machiya houses which now functions as restaurants, shops and ochaya (teahouses). If one is lucky, one may see geiko and maiko on their way to or from an engagement from an ochaya.
