Overview

This tour offers a warm, personal experience with a maximum of six guests, led by friendly student guides who feel like local friends. They bring fresh perspectives, strong local knowledge, and a genuine passion for sharing Kyoto’s history and culture.

The tour covers both famous sights and hidden gems. Starting at Minamiza Theater, we walk along a calm street by a stream with a traditional snack. We visit a small local shrine, then Yasaka Shrine with its lantern-lit stage. Strolling through Gion, we reach an iconic view of a Buddhist pagoda before entering the Geisha district, where we share insights into Geisha culture. You may even catch a glimpse of a Geisha.

Feel free to ask questions, enjoy photo support, and receive local restaurant recommendations.
