Ponto-cho
Among the five hanamachi (geisha districts) including Gion, one of them is Pontocho, where the Pontocho Kaburenjo Theater stands near Sanjo Street. It is a place where maiko (apprentice geisha) hone their performing arts. In The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl, it appears as a dazzling adult world into which the black-haired maiden ventures.
There are various spots to enjoy, such as casual and friendly sweet shops and izakayas, as well as theaters and parks that are easy to stop by for sightseeing. You can also enjoy strolling through alleys full of Kyoto’s traditional charm.
