Why take this tour?

Are you sure you won't end up stuck in with the touristy side of GIon? More than just a guide, I’m more like a "local friend" who happens to have 1o years of professional guide experience and 2 years of hospitality experience I use to help you discover the lesser known side of Kyoto.  I’ve taken clients just like you, on small group tours of Gion and we explore a geisha district on a short walking tour. I buy you a drink and light dinner at a local Izakaya-Japanese restaurant only the locals know. I can't wait to help you go beyond the touristy stuff in Gion! Join me on a fascinating walk through Gion talking about geisha culture, Shinto, Buddhism and a whole bunch of other Japanese related stuff.

What’s included?

  • We visit a local Izakaya or Japanese restaurant. I will buy you a drink and order a few dishes, our small intimate group will share. This is included in the tour price. Every drink after is extra!

  • Every drink after the first (first drink included)
