Going to Kyoto won't be complete without watching cultural performance at Gion Corner. In Gion Corner, you can see 7 Japanese traditional performances in about 2 hours. The entrance fee is 2,500 yen. The performances include Chado (tea ceremony), Koto (japanesse hap), Kado (flower arrangement), Gagaku (court music), Kyogen (ancient comic play), Kyomai (Kyoto style dance), and Bunraku (puppet play). Before the show, you will get a leaflet abouth each of the performance. So, even though the show is in Japanese, you still able to enjoy and laugh together with the local tourist.

Before went here, I read some review about the show, some reviewer said the show was boring and only waste of time. Bur as a tourist, for me Gion Corner was really insightful and gave me experience that I might not find again in other city. So it was definitely worthy.
XOXO,
