What To Expect
Kitano Tenmangu Shrine
Begin your morning at one of Kyoto’s most historic shrines, dedicated to the god of learning. Stroll through Kamishichiken, Kyoto’s oldest geisha district, where tradition still lives.
Kamishichiken Street
Located next to Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, Kamishichiken is the oldest geisha district in Kyoto, dating back to the 15th century. The name means “Upper Seven Houses,” coming from the seven tea houses originally built with leftover wood from the shrine’s reconstruction. Today, Kamishichiken remains a quiet and elegant neighborhood where geiko (geisha) and maiko (apprentice geisha) still perform traditional dances and tea ceremonies. Unlike the busy Gion area, this district offers a calm, authentic atmosphere — a rare chance to see the refined side of Kyoto’s entertainment culture.
