On the first half of the tour, visit the Gion Kagai Art Museum and get to know basic information about the history and culture of kagai, traditional entertainment districts. Afterwards, enjoy an authentic teahouse culture experience in Gion. The new teahouse, completed in the autumn of 2024, is worth a visit for its design and great attention to materials.
