Descripción completa

Esta es una experiencia de 2 horas en Kyoto. Reservamos tu plaza con el operador antes de dar la reserva por definitiva.

Gion es el histórico distrito de entretenimiento de Kyoto, las calles de casas machiya de madera alrededor de Hanamikoji donde las geiko y maiko del distrito de Gion Kobu todavía trabajan. Son profesionales trabajando en camino a compromisos, no artistas callejeras, y Kyoto ha prohibido la fotografía en los callejones privados; un paseo nocturno con un guía que explica el sistema ochaya es la forma respetuosa de verlo. Las sesiones de ceremonia del té en Gion enseñan la forma básica de preparación del matcha en una hora. El alquiler de kimono por un día, con vestimenta y peinado, es un negocio establecido en el distrito y es bienvenido en lugar de resentido.

El precio incluye guía de habla inglesa. No incluye comida y bebidas, recuerdos y gastos personales y transporte de ida y vuelta al punto de encuentro, así que cuenta con ese gasto aparte. Todo lo incluido figura al completo en esta página; si algo no aparece en esa lista, da por hecho que no entra en el precio.

El punto de encuentro y la hora se envían por correo en cuanto se confirma la reserva. Necesitamos al menos un día de antelación y confirmamos la fecha antes de dar la reserva por definitiva. Si no se puede confirmar la fecha, te lo decimos y te devolvemos el importe en lugar de dejarte esperando.

Incluye

  • Guía de habla inglesa

No incluye

  • Comida y bebidas (disponibles para comprar a su propio costo)

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.

Preguntas frecuentes

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.

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.
