Gion walking tour at dusk
The tour route through Kyoto's Gion district is wheelchair accessible. Enjoy the historic atmosphere as night falls and geisha step out to entertain at tea house parties.
A must-do in Kyoto is to take an early evening walking tour of Gion, the famous geisha district. As you slowly make your way through Gion's narrow lanes and hidden alleys, your English-speaking guide will give a fascinating insight into the history and traditions of the mysterious world of geisha.
This tour is a fantastic way for you to get an inside look at one of Japan's best known, yet least understood, traditional professions. During the tour you may come across some geisha or maiko (apprentice geisha) hurrying between tea house appointments if you are lucky!
