Kyoto Gion.
What image do you have against it?
It is a flower and restaurant district.
There are some restaurants that refuse first-time customers, giving them an image of being difficult to get into.

Kyoto people like to brag about how much money they have spent in Gion.
At my first company in Kyoto City, the people in my department who received the President’s Award went out to Gion and bragged about how they had spent 120,000 yen in just one night. (I can’t really imitate it, though.)
Well, even if it is not a restaurant with such girls, but a regular restaurant, it is a status of Kyoto people to have a meal in Gion. And the restaurants in Gion are generally of a high standard. Rich ladies sometimes go to Gion.
Gion is home to maiko and geigu, and I believe that inviting these people to play in hanamachi is a custom reserved for men of the upper class in Kyoto. The story is that people with lots of money in Kyoto, such as “doctors, scholars, actors, and priests” are playing in Gion.
We, the common people, have no connection to this story.
