Overview

Discover Kyoto’s historic Gion district on a walking tour conducted entirely in Spanish. Led by a native Spanish-speaking guide, this experience lets you explore Japan’s geisha culture without language barriers.

Begin in picturesque Gion Shirakawa, a quiet canal lined with willow trees, traditional teahouses, and stone-paved streets. Walk through peaceful backstreets away from the crowds, discovering hidden shrines and beautifully preserved wooden townhouses.

Learn about the fascinating world of geisha and maiko, including their training, performances, and the artistry behind their kimonos and hairstyles. Your guide will explain the customs that continue to shape this unique culture.

The tour ends on Hanamikoji Street, the heart of the geisha district, where you may be lucky enough to glimpse a geiko or maiko on her way to an evening engagement.

By the end, you will gain a deeper understanding of Kyoto’s iconic traditions, all in Spanish.
