Week 10: Days 63-69

6/2-6/5 Monday-Thursday:
Again... school...


6/6 Friday:
From Japan: Day 067

The entrance to Yasaka Shrine.

Today we had our last class outing. We started at the Yasaka Shrine and then walked around Gion district and Pontocho street. This area is/was the most exclusive and well known Geisha district in Japan. Gion is famous for preserving the traditional forms of architecture and entertainment, and Pontocho was once the red-light district of Kyoto. Since we went there when it was getting dark, it is a little hard to see the architecture, but I tried to get some pictures. We didn't really see any Geisha (or Maiko), but I did get a picture of one getting into a taxi...


6/7-6/8
Bah... schoolwork...
