What To Expect
For the time and budget-conscious traveler, experience the Gion district with our government-licensed and experienced multilingual tour guides.
You'll start your day by meeting your guide at the Tatsumi Daimyojin Shrine, the center of Gion. While exploring Gion, your guide will show you the history and culture of geisha―from their kimonos and hairstyles to rules and daily rituals.
You'll walk down the cobbled streets of three Geisha areas in total―Gion, Pontocho, and Miyagawacho―while you listen to stories of Kyoto's ancient past. If you're lucky, you may even spot a geisha on the street!
This short but value-packed trip is a fantastic way of experiencing a side of Kyoto that most tourists do not get to see.
This private tour is a walking day tour with a guide. A private vehicle is not included.
