Overview

This isn’t your typical Kyoto walking tour. With a host who shapes the day around your curiosity, you’ll explore both the city’s iconic landmarks and its tucked-away corners — from lantern-lit alleys and sacred temples to foodie markets and riverside hideaways. Whether you’re drawn to spiritual stories, seasonal flavors, or artisan crafts, your route flows entirely at your pace.

After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire so we can match you with the ideal host. They’ll then create a flexible, fully personalized itinerary designed just for you.
