On our 2nd day in Kyoto, we spent the whole afternoon and evening in Gion 祗園, an area where the geishas reside and entertain. Supposedly the best time to see geishas is after 6:00pm when they begin to go out to entertain for the evening, but we were not so lucky even though we lingered in the area until after dark.
