Overview

Immerse yourself in the serene nighttime atmosphere of Gion, which is a complete change from the daytime.

Starting from the landmark Minamiza Theatre in Gion, we will first head to Hanamikoji, known as the geisha district.
In this area, you will not only enjoy the traditional streets, but also learn the unique rules and trivia of geisha culture from your guide.
You may even see a real Geisha.
Next, we will walk through a shrine of matchmaking popular among Japanese and a famous street.
During the tour, you will also have a chance to see a beautiful Buddhist pagoda illuminated by lights.
Your guide will take your picture there if you want.
You will then continue to explore hidden spots and pathways, and end the tour with a visit to a shrine that is over 1000 years old.

The tour is limited to a small number of people, so it is easy to ask questions to the guide, and you will have a comfortable time.
Let us help you make wonderful memories in Kyoto!
