+19 photos
See Kyoto at its most magical, quiet, glowing, and full of hidden stories.
As the evening lights up the streets of Gion, join our friendly English-speaking guide for a relaxing walk through Kyoto’s most atmospheric area.
You will visit Yasaka Pagoda, Yasaka Shrine, and Yasui Konpiragu Shrine, an important spot in Kyoto’s geisha district.
Here, your guide will introduce the fascinating world of Shinto culture, showing you how locals pray and what each ritual means.
As you explore the area filled with temples and shrines, you will also learn how Buddhism and Shinto harmoniously coexist in Japanese daily life, a key part of Kyoto’s spiritual heart.
As we walk, you can enjoy plenty of Kin-Kame, a beloved local sake often served at Kyoto’s best izakaya but rarely found outside Japan.
Feel free to sip and refill your cup while strolling through the softly lit streets. It is a fun and authentic way to experience Kyoto’s night atmosphere like a local.
