Overview

This tour is typically conducted in a small group of up to about 10 people.
Why don’t we accept many guests?
Because we believe that if there are too many participants, the guide won’t be able to give everyone proper attention.
Starting from the landmark Minamiza Theatre in Gion, we first head to Hanamikoji, known as the geisha district.
In this area, you will not only enjoy the traditional streets, but also learn the mysterious rules and trivia of geisha culture from your guide.
If you’re lucky, you may spot a real Geisha.

Also this tour offers more than just a glimpse into Geisha culture.
Next, you will see a shrine for matchmaking and a beautiful Buddhist pagoda outside Geisha district, which is illuminated at night, creating an even more stunning sight.

This tour is a great way to gain a better understanding of Kyoto's traditional streets and local culture.
Let us help you make wonderful memories in Kyoto!
