Gion Night Walk Guided Tour

This short guided walking tour will have you experiencing the Gion night scene in just three hours—perfect if you only have a couple of hours to spare.

Enjoy the enchanting nightlife of Gion, Kyoto's historic geisha district. As the sun sets, the streets come alive with beautifully illuminated lanterns, elegant restaurants, charming bars, and traditional teahouses. Wander the traditional backstreets, visit offbeat temples and shrines, and you may even catch a glimpse of a geiko or maiko (apprentice geiko) on their way to entertain guests (though it's not guaranteed). A friendly and knowledgeable guide will help you explore Hanamikoji Street, one of the best-preserved historic streets, Yasaka Shrine (also known as Gion Shrine), and more. Learn about the rich history, architecture, and customs of the area, gaining a deeper understanding of Japan's culture and traditions.
