It eventually evolved to become one of the most exclusive and well-known geisha districts in all of Japan. Shirakawa Canal in the Gion district, showing the rear of some ochaya The geisha in the Gion district (and Kyoto generally) does not refer to themselves as geisha; instead, Gion geisha use the local term geiko. While the term geisha means "artist" or "person of the arts", the more direct term geiko means essentially "a child of the arts" or "a woman of art". This neighborhood in Kyoto has two hanamachi (geiko communities): Gion Kōbu (祇園甲部) and Gion Higashi (祇園東), which split many years ago; Kōbu is larger, occupying most of the district, while Higashi is smaller and occupies the northeast corner, centered around its rehearsal hall. Despite the considerable decline in the number of geisha in Gion in the last one hundred years, it is still famous for the preservation of forms of traditional architecture and entertainment.

Recently, the City of Kyoto completed a project to restore the streets of Gion, which included such plans as moving all overhead utilities underground as part of the ongoing effort to preserve the original beauty of Gion. 祇園（ぎおん）は京都市東山区にある、京都の代表的な繁華街及び歓楽街。 八坂神社（江戸時代までは祇園社）の門前町として鴨川から東大路通・八坂神社までの四条通の南北に発展した。京都有数の花街（舞妓がいることでも有名）であり、地区内には南座（歌舞伎劇場）、祇園甲部歌舞練場、祇園会館などがある。現在は茶屋、料亭のほかにバーも多く、昔のおもかげは薄らいだが、格子戸の続く家並みには往時の風雅と格調がしのばれる。北部の新橋通から白川沿いの地区は国の重要伝統的建造物群保存地区として選定、南部の花見小路を挟む一帯は京都市の歴史的景観保全修景地区に指定され、伝統ある町並みの保護と活用が進んでいる。 また、四条通と東大路の交差点は「祇園」交差点である（しばしば「祇園石段下」とも言う）。交差点付近に京都市営バス・京阪バスの祇園バス停留所がある。 祇園，位於京都府京都市東山區，是京都市區內代表性的鬧區與風化區。 作為八坂神社的門前町，從鴨川到東大路通、八坂神社的四條通沿線發展而成。京都有數的花街（以舞妓聞名），有許多茶屋、料亭、酒吧，也有歌舞伎劇場的南座。北部的新橋通到白川沿岸的地區被選定為國之重要傳統的建造物群保存地區，南部的花見小路一帶被指定為京都市的歷史的景觀保全修景地區。
