기온(祇園)은 교토에서 가장 유명한 게이샤 거리(하나마치, 花街 '꽃의 거리')로, 종이 등불이 밝히는 좁은 길을 따라 전통 목조 마치야가 늘어서 있다. 거리의 중심은 하나미코지로, 이곳의 고급 오차야(찻집)가 기업 고객과 부유한 후원자를 위한 비공개 저녁 연회에 게이샤와 마이코(견습 게이샤)를 부른다.
기온은 교토의 전통 예능 문화를 지켜 왔다 — 게이샤는 수백 년에 걸쳐 다듬어진 춤, 음악(샤미센, 피리), 대화의 예를 선보인다. 거리는 게이샤가 흰 분장, 정교한 기모노, 전통 나막신(게타) 차림으로 약속 사이를 오가는 황혼(18:00~20:00)에 가장 운치 있다.
