Vollständige Beschreibung

Dies ist ein 2-stündiges Erlebnis in Kyoto. Wir halten Ihren Platz beim Anbieter, bevor wir Ihre Buchung als endgültig behandeln.

Gion ist Kyotos historisches Unterhaltungsviertel, die Straßen mit hölzernen Machiya-Häusern um Hanamikoji, wo die Geiko und Maiko des Gion-Kobu-Bezirks noch arbeiten. Sie sind arbeitende Profis auf dem Weg zu Terminen, keine Straßenkünstler, und Kyoto hat Fotografieren in den privaten Gassen verboten; ein Abendspaziergang mit einem Guide, der das Ochaya-System erklärt, ist die respektvolle Art, es zu sehen. Teezeremonie-Sitzungen in Gion lehren die Grundform der Matcha-Zubereitung in einer Stunde. Kimono-Verleih für einen Tag, mit Anziehen und Frisur, ist ein etabliertes Geschäft im Bezirk und wird begrüßt statt abgelehnt.

Im Preis enthalten sind Englischsprachiger Guide. Nicht enthalten sind Speisen und Getränke, Souvenirs und persönliche Ausgaben und Transport zum und vom Treffpunkt, diese Kosten kommen hinzu. Alle Leistungen sind auf dieser Seite vollständig aufgeführt; was dort nicht steht, ist nicht im Preis enthalten.

Treffpunkt und Uhrzeit werden Ihnen per E-Mail mitgeteilt, sobald die Buchung bestätigt ist. Wir brauchen mindestens einen Tag Vorlauf und bestätigen den Termin, bevor wir Ihre Buchung als endgültig behandeln. Lässt sich der Termin nicht bestätigen, sagen wir Ihnen Bescheid und erstatten den Betrag, statt Sie warten zu lassen.

there was no transportation included, the guide took us to a very expensive food place which was not good food either, we got better food one day prior when we searched ourselves. I would not do it again

Highly recommended for first-time visitors to Kyoto. A great introduction to geisha culture and the city’s night vibe.

Yuki was an absolutely fantastic guide! The 6 PM tour was wonderfully quiet and far less crowded, letting us explore at a relaxed, comfortable pace. Though there was a fair amount of walking, every moment was completely worthwhile. We loved every part of this lovely evening tour, and we highly recommend it to everyone!

Yuki was our tour guide and we had such a fantastic experience. She explained everything in so much detail and was also welcoming to all our questions and answered all of them. She was very polite to take our photos too. Would highly recommend the walk as it gives you a great insight to the culture and to explore paths we might not know of as tourists. Thanks a lot again Yuki

The small group size made it feel like a private tour. It was easy to hear everything and ask questions.

Description of your tour detail and what we actually did was different. We were disappointed in this tour.

I really enjoyed this tour. Kyoto at night is शांत and elegant, and we were lucky enough to spot a maiko—such a special moment!

A fantastic night experience! Walking through Hanamikoji felt magical, and the guide shared so many interesting stories about geisha and maiko culture.

The evening walk in Kyoto was one of the highlights of our trip. The city felt calm and charming at dusk, and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about local culture while enjoying the peaceful streets.

This was a lovely way to experience Kyoto after sunset. Strolling through Hanamikoji Street and hearing about geisha culture from the local guide made the walk much more meaningful. It felt authentic and not like a typical tourist tour.

Yang è stato una guida divertente che ci ha accompagnato per gli angoli più belli della città raccontandoci aneddoti e curiosità! Un ottimo modo per godersi una serata a Kyoto! Consigliatissimo

There were no cherry blossoms nor were there izakaya. Guide took us to visit two temples and she referred to Kyoto geiko as geisha in the Gion district. Then told us to find our own restaurant if we look up their reviews because she can’t refer nor recommend.

Häufige Fragen

JRT Group sends the meeting point and time by email as soon as the booking is confirmed.
The price does not cover food and drinks (available for purchase at your own expense), souvenirs and personal expenses and transportation to/from the meeting point. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Not in the private lanes of Gion, where Kyoto has banned photography, and not close up anywhere: a maiko on the street is on her way to work. Your guide will say where a photograph is acceptable. Tea ceremony and kimono sessions include photographs as part of the session.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
Englischsprachiger Guide
The duration of the Gion: Geisha-Traditionen, Shinto-Rituale und versteckte Machiya is typically 2 hours. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the scheduled start time for a smooth check-in. Your guide will meet you at the designated meeting point and ensure the experience runs on schedule while remaining flexible to your pace.
For most experiences, we highly recommend an early morning start. This allows you to avoid the midday heat, bypass the largest crowds, and capture the best lighting for photography. Your guide can advise on the optimal timing based on the season and specific attractions included.
Yes, once your booking is completed via our secure payment gateway, you will receive an instant confirmation email with your tour details, meeting point address, guide's name, and direct contact information. You can also view and manage your booking through your AsiaByLocals account dashboard.

Weather-related cancellations for outdoor and boat tours are handled on a case-by-case basis, with full refunds or free rebooking offered when safety is a concern.
Most of our experiences are family-friendly and suitable for children of all ages. However, some tours involving extensive walking, water activities, or early morning starts may be better suited for children aged 5 and above. Please check the specific tour description for age recommendations, or contact us for personalized family itinerary advice.
After booking, you will receive detailed meeting point instructions via email. Most tours include complimentary hotel pickup within the central area. For tours without pickup, your confirmation email will include the exact address, Google Maps pin, and your guide's phone number for easy coordination.

Many hold government-issued tourism licenses, university degrees in history or cultural studies, and have years of experience leading tours for international travelers. Every guide maintains a minimum 4.5-star rating to remain active on our platform.
Late March to early April for cherry blossom, or mid-to-late November for peak autumn foliage. Kyoto sits in a basin and runs hotter in summer and colder in winter than Tokyo, even at a similar latitude. Full month-by-month figures are in our best time to visit Kyoto guide.
Kyoto never built an extensive subway — just two lines (Karasuma and Tozai) — so the city bus network does most of the work, especially for Higashiyama, Kinkaku-ji and Ginkakuji. Fushimi Inari and Arashiyama are best reached by JR rail instead. See getting around Kyoto.
Three days covers the essentials well: a day for Higashiyama and Gion, a day for Arashiyama and Kinkaku-ji, and a day for Fushimi Inari plus a Nara or Uji day trip. Our 3-day Kyoto itinerary has the full route with timing.
Arrive by 6:30-7am — the shrine is open 24/7 and free, and most visitors only walk the first 20-30 minutes anyway. Past that point the crowds thin out fast. Full hike details in our Fushimi Inari guide.
Yes — it's a public path with no entrance fee and no set hours. The trade-off is that it gets shoulder-to-shoulder by mid-morning; arrive before 8am for a nearly empty walk. See the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest guide.
Kyoto restricts photography on certain private alleys in Gion after complaints about tourists chasing and blocking geiko and maiko, with fines for violators. Public streets like Hanamikoji-dori remain open, but never chase, touch or block a real geiko/maiko anywhere. Full etiquette in our Gion geisha district guide.
Yudofu (simmered tofu, best near Nanzen-ji or Arashiyama), kaiseki and shojin ryori temple cuisine, and Nishiki Market's stalls of tako tamago and fresh yuba. Uji, just south of the city, is one of Japan's top matcha-growing regions. See the Kyoto food guide.
