Day 9: Kanazawa - Higashi Chaya and Kenrokuen
... list but hopefully the Gion district in Kyoto will help us with that. Although pretty small, the district was very beautiful. The very old 2 story buildings that lined the streets were well preserved. I believe they were initially constructed as restaurants for geishas to entertain guests.
