Why You Should Visit

Gion Odori is the autumn dance performance by the geiko and maiko of Gion Higashi, one of Kyoto's geisha districts. It runs for ten days from 1 November at Gion Kaikan, just below the stone steps of Yasaka Shrine. The 67th edition in 2026 presents the programme "Kyoraku Gyokusui no Megumi", about an hour long and performed twice a day. A ticket with tea ceremony adds a tea seating to the show. A good way to see geisha dance in autumn, easily combined with an autumn-leaves walk around Gion.
