Full Description
Step into the enchanting world of old Kyoto and immerse yourself in the magic of Gion and Shirakawa on this unforgettable evening tour. As twilight falls, lanterns illuminate cobblestone streets lined with preserved wooden townhouses. The soft rustle of kimono, flickering lights, and distant melodies of shamisen fill the air — this is Kyoto at its most poetic.
Stroll through narrow lanes and hidden corners of Gion, one of Japan’s most famous geisha districts. Learn about the elegant traditions of the maiko and geiko, guided by a local expert who shares insider stories and little-known details about Kyoto’s cultural heritage.
Along the way, you’ll stop for light snacks featuring traditional Kyoto flavors. The journey culminates in an exquisite kaiseki dinner — a refined culinary experience showcasing seasonal ingredients and Kyoto’s culinary artistry. From umami-rich miso to delicately prepared yuba, every dish is served like a work of art, presented on beautiful ceramic plates.
This isn’t just a food tour — it’s a sensory journey into Kyoto’s timeless soul.

Reviews
“Great, friendly, and informative guide! The restaurant for the food tour offered fantastic food and great service.”
“What an awesome food tour in this new and upcoming neighborhood of Azabujuban. All the food items were loved by adults and kids alike. Ellen and her two guide partners were super patient and explained everything clearly without rushing. This was our 6th food tour in Japan, and it was our group’s favorite!”
“Miki gave us the best food tour we’ve ever had — and we’ve had a lot! She was friendly and very knowledgeable about Gion, the food, and the geisha world. Highly recommend!”
