Gion is a historical area

Hi, everybody.

This area we are in is sort of a historical area of Kyoto.
There are so many things worth seeing. They are not only temples and shrines.
But also Roads, rivers, and also people, like the ladies in following picture.


They are called Maiko-san (舞妓さん, まいこさん). They have skills to entertain their guests, by playing a Japanese instrument, dancing a classical Japanese dance, and singing a old song.

They walks on streets so naturally with their white makeup, wearing a colorful Kimono.

I feel very fortunate to meet them!
