In modern Japan, geisha and maiko are now a rare sight outside hanamachi.

日本现代，在花街之外是很难见到艺妓和舞妓的。

The gokagai of Kyoto are its five geisha districts, also known as hanamachi ("flower towns").

京都的五花街是五大艺妓聚集区，也已花街闻名。

Geikos from the other two hanamachi (Gion Higashi and Miyagawa-cho) have high prestige but are considered to be one rank lower.

另外两条花街(祗园东和宫川町)的舞妓们虽然也有很高的信誉，但依旧被认为低了一个档次。
