Amazing walking tour through the streets of Kyoto. As you are walking through the streets of Kyoto, our guide Naoya is giving the history and discussing the traditions and all the work that goes into being a Geisha . The history comes alive. The walking tour also takes you through various streets, shrine, temples and allows for some nice pictures. Great experience getting to see Kyoto from a different point of view.

This is a really fun, casual walking tour for about 2 hours. You’ll learn a lot about geisha history and culture, plus see a couple temples and shrines along the way. Our guide Uta was wonderful, excellent English with a hint of a proper British accent. She was extremely engaging and made it a lot of fun. A small tip for those hoping to see a geisha on the tour…try to do the tour around 5-6p, you will have a better chance of seeing one on the street.
