Photography ban
as of 25 Oct 2019 along "private roads" in Gion there's a Fine up to 10,000 yen ($92, not legally binding though) for photography without a photo permit, all thanks to misbehaving tourists apparently "lacking common sense and manners"!
“Because Hanamikoji Street is a city road, we can’t prohibit photography there” as per the appended news article. The ban is essentially along private roads running off Hanamikoji.
