Gion Scene.

Gion est un quartier de Kyoto qui compte de nombreuses maisons traditionnelles - les machiya - dont certaines sont des « ochaya » ou maisons de thé. C’est un endroit plein de charme où l’on peut retrouver un peu du Japon d’antan. C’est le quartier des Geishas et il s’anime à la tombée de la nuit. Les hommes d’affaires viennent s’y divertir en compagnie de « Geiko » (c’est ainsi que l’on nomme les Geishas à Kyoto). Ces femmes sont en général très cultivées et connaissent l’art de musique, de la poésie et de la danse.

Gion is an area of Kyoto that has many traditional houses - the Machiyas - some of which are « ochaya » or tea houses. It is a charming place where you can find a bit of Japan of yesteryear. It is the neighborhood of the geishas and it comes alive at nightfall. Business men come to spend the evening in the company of «geiko» (this is how we call geishas in Kyoto). These women are generally very cultured and know the art of music, poetry and dance.
