Gion Shirakawa
A peaceful ribbon of water flowing through the heart of Gion. Lined with willow trees, traditional tea houses, and stone lanterns, Shirakawa feels like a step back in time. This is one of Kyoto’s most atmospheric streets, quiet, elegant, and deeply connected to the world of geisha and old-town life.
Tatsumi Daimyojin Shrine
A small but powerful Shinto shrine hidden beside the canal. Dedicated to protection and good fortune, Tatsumi Shrine has long been prayed to by geisha and local residents. Its intimate size and quiet presence perfectly capture the spiritual side of everyday Kyoto.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Kyoto Geisha Walking Tour, and a huge part of that was thanks to Michael. Michael is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Kyoto’s history and culture. He explained the origins and traditions of Geisha culture in such detailed yet engaging ways, making every stop in Gion come alive. From the charming machiya townhouses to the historic temples and hidden alleys, his storytelling gave us a much deeper appreciation of old Kyoto. What truly elevated the tour were his thoughtful recommendations and travel tips — from local food spots to cultural etiquette insights — which made the entire experience not just informative but genuinely enjoyable and practical for the rest of our stay. The walking tour never felt rushed, and Michael’s patience and enthusiasm made it easy to ask questions and fully immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of Gion. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a richer, more meaningful Kyoto experience. Thank you, Michael, for making it so memorable! 🌸✨

We had a very interesting and varied tour through a beautiful neighborhood in Kyoto. Michael was very friendly, open, and welcoming from the very beginning. We especially appreciated his great sense of humor, which made the whole tour enjoyable and never boring. It was clear that he has excellent knowledge of Kyoto, and he shared many fascinating background stories, historical details, and local insights that we would never have discovered on our own. Thanks to him, we were able to see the area from a completely different perspective. The combination of knowledge, humor, and personal tips made this tour a truly memorable experience. We felt comfortable the entire time and learned a lot. Thank you very much for the wonderful tour – we highly recommend it!
