The area
Address
Neighborhood: Gion
Gion is Kyoto's famed Geisha District (called "Geiko" in Kyoto). Though Gion's many tea houses and entertainment restaurants are closed to foreigners, Geiko and Maiko in their traditional makeup with gilded hair in full kimono can be seen drifting the streets on their way to and from work, where they fan dance, sing, and play instruments for customers. Gion lights up at night, when the ancient-looking streets glow with lanterns along the river, where weeping willows catch the starlight and the air is warmed with conversation. Groups pass through to populate the restaurants and bars along the riverfront, but Gion still manages to be a mostly quiet district, due in large part to limited automotive traffic through many of its streets. Gion is a wonderful place to indulge in Kyoto's local and customary cuisines, and is best enjoyed after dark.

「祇園まるん」は四条通の北側のお店が立ち並ぶ中にあります。金平糖やあめ、マシュマロ、クッキーなどお菓子が主な商品です。お菓子モチーフのペンなど雑貨も少しありました。パッケージやイラストが凝っています。お値段は高めに感じました。おみやげにも喜ばれそうです。

차를 마실 때 먹는다는 그 캔디를 팝니다. 정말 작고 예뻐요. 여러가지 사가면 선물하기 너무 좋습니다. 고양이 모양 같은 건 정말 귀여워도 저 자신을 위해서도 샀었습니다.

祇園の八坂神社へ続く商店街の中にある祇園まるんはお菓子を中心としたお土産物屋です。世界一小さい金平糖はカラフルな星の砂のように見えるお菓子でパッケージも良く外国人の方に喜ばれそうなお土産でした。

世界一小さい金平糖や、金平糖の形のヘアピン、本物の飴が入ったストラップなどかわいいだけでは珍しいものもたくさんありました。ガイアの夜明けで紹介されたという半生菓子や舞妓さんの金太郎飴などもかわいくて美味しそうでした。
