Discover Gion's highlights in 90 minutes—drink in hand.

Join our small-group walking tour through the historic streets of Gion and Yasaka. As the daytime crowds fade, the city reveals its true charm under the warm glow of lanterns. Led by a knowledgeable Japanese guide, you will explore the enchanting Geisha districts and spiritual sites in a calm, intimate setting.

A Unique “Sake-in-Hand” Experience To elevate your evening, we offer complimentary tastings of Kin-Kame, a celebrated sake from the historic Okamura Honke brewery (est. 1839). Known for its fruity aroma and smooth finish, this premium sake is crafted with local rice and pure water. Sipping this while strolling through the old capital is a style of travel you won’t find anywhere else. (Note: Drinking is optional; non-alcoholic guests are warmly welcomed).

Discover Gion & Yasaka Your journey takes you through Kyoto’s most photogenic spots, including the lantern-lit alleys of Hanamikoji, the iconic Yasaka Pagoda, and the serene grounds of Yasaka Shrine. Along the way, your guide will share hidden stories of Geiko and Maiko culture, as well as the unique blend of Shinto and Buddhist beliefs that shape daily life here.

Friendly & Intimate Atmosphere We value friendly conversations over formal lectures. With a small group size, it feels less like a tour and more like walking with a local friend. Whether you are taking photos of the scenery or asking for local food recommendations, we want you to enjoy the night at a relaxed pace.
