Neighborhood overview
Away from the hustle and bustle from the more touristy Gion Geisha quarter, but literally adjacent to it, Miyagawa-chō is a place where traditional Kyoto entertainers still gather today. For centuries, Kabuki was performed in many small theaters on the banks of the Kamo River, some of the teahouses were even boats that operated in the river. As Kabuki was just then developing into a mass entertainment spectacle as known today, the area was very popular and Miyagawa-chō quickly grew into a full town of teahouses. The association with Kabuki has gone, but the Minami-za kabuki theater of Kyoto still stands on its historical spot on the east bank of the Kamo River. Today, Miyagawa-chō has its own kaburenjō or theater where geisha dances are performed, it has retained a more authentic side and its residents pride themselves in perpetuating the tradition. You can experience the real Kyoto in our house.
