Three Geiko during the Hassaku in Gion

It was really hot, and quite crowded (by photographers and tourists), but we decided to go to have a look and take a few photos.  Gion’s Hassaku is indeed a rare chance to see many of the Geiko (a local term in Kyoto for Geisha) and Maiko (apprentice Geisha) from Japan’s most renowned geisha district.
