Kyoto 4 hr Gion Private Guided Tour & Maiko or Geisha Dinner
+18 photos
Immerse yourself in the charm of traditional Japanese culture with this exclusive 4-hour tour. Explore Gion on a 90-minute guided walk with a licensed guide and learn about the district’s rich history, customs, and traditions.
After sightseeing, your guide will accompany you to enjoy a beautifully presented Kaiseki meal and spend time with a Geisha or Maiko in an authentic Kyoto setting. Unlike other tours with shows made specifically for overseas visitors, this tour lets you experience what it’s really like to dine with a Geisha or Maiko. There are no flashy shows or fast dances—just the wabi-sabi of real Kyoto. You can ask questions, speak with the Geisha/Maiko, and join in classic ozashiki asobi (traditional Geisha games).
Important Notes:
1: Per local custom, guests are asked to purchase one drink for the Maiko or Geisha.
2: Only one Maiko or Geisha will be arranged for your experience; selection is not available.
3: Please note that music is pre-recorded and not performed live.
