MIYAGAWA CHO
To the south west of the Gion districts is the district of
Miyagawa Cho (宮川町). It came into existence due in part to its proximity to Yasaka Shrine, but more so to the
Minamiza Theatre (南座) that sits at its northern entrance. Because of this Miyagawa Cho is known for its kabuki influence, and it's on display each April during the
Kyo Odori (京をどり). Meaning “
Dances of the Capital,” it is a showcase of the up tempo kabuki style of dance and is considered a must see event for those visiting each spring. The symbol of Miyagawa Cho is three interlinked rings that symbolize a connection between the shrines, the tea houses, and the people who live there.
