If you're going to see a geisha just pay the money for a private show and don't be that tourist who is chasing them down the street for a photograph.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (187 reviews)
Rooms had plenty of space and were clean. Also the added benefit of being able to use facilities such as the gym at their other Kabin Taka location was a great addition. Definitely recommend

Foreigners receive an automatic discounted rate and it is a great orientation to the culture and history. Google maps takes you essentially to the back door of the place and it is confusing. It is a large white brick building you can see from where Google maps takes you, but you have to go around the block to get in.
3/5 - Okay

Explore the area around Gion Corner. Go up and down the side and main street that it's on. You'll really get the feel of old Kyoto.

I assume this is a reference to the Gion District. A must. Large and well preserved district. Go at dusk when it is at its most atmospheric. Geisha sightings possible but please do stick cameras in their faces. Admire but do not pester.
