Description complète

Cette expérience de 2 heures se déroule au départ de Kyoto, construite autour de Bar local. Votre place est retenue auprès de l'opérateur avant que nous considérions votre réservation comme définitive.

Kyoto fut la capitale du Japon pendant plus de mille ans jusqu'en 1868 et compte 17 sites classés UNESCO parmi environ 2 000 temples et sanctuaires. Les trois grands sont Kinkaku-ji, le Pavillon d'or, recouvert de feuille d'or et meilleur à la lumière du matin ; Kiyomizu-dera, la scène en bois sur les collines orientales avec les allées de Higashiyama, Sannenzaka et Ninenzaka en dessous ; et les portiques de Fushimi Inari. Le château de Nijo a les planchers du rossignol qui grincent contre les intrus, et Ryoan-ji le jardin de pierres. Les temples ouvrent vers 8h00 ou 9h00 et ferment à 17h00, et le bus municipal est lent ; une journée avec un chauffeur ou un guide qui ordonne les arrêts contre les foules fait la différence entre quatre sites et sept.

Le prix comprend guidé par un sommelier de saké parlant anglais et saké et collations. Il ne comprend pas transport vers/depuis les attractions et prise en charge et retour à l'hôtel, à prévoir en plus. Tout ce qui est inclus est listé en entier sur cette page ; si quelque chose ne figure pas dans cette liste, considérez que ce n’est pas compris dans le prix.

18 Naginatabokochō, Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto, 600-8008, Japan. Nous avons besoin d'au moins un jour de préavis et nous confirmons la date avant de considérer votre réservation comme définitive. Si la date ne peut pas être confirmée, nous vous le disons et vous remboursons plutôt que de vous laisser attendre.

We had an absolute blast with Kenji and we learned so much! The sake bar was delightful and we tasted 8 different sakes. We now have a greater appreciation for sake and feel like we can make good choices when ordering in a restaurant. Super chill experience, just hanging out with new friend. Don’t hesitate, book this experience!

We LOVED spending time with Kenji from Kyoto! It was like grabbing a drink with a friend, except that friend is super knowledgeable and can order things specifically designed for your tastes. We learned so much about the process of making sake and got to try many different types and develop our palates. Highly recommend!

Our sake tour with Kenji was great. He’s worked in the sake industry for years and has a wealth of knowledge in this area. We met at the designated place then walked about ten minutes to the amazing sake shop that has so many sakes to choose from. It was only my husband and myself, so basically a private experience. Kenji explained the ingredients, process and different types of sake or Nihon Shu. We had six pours of different types of sake. Some were unpasteurized (like my personal favorite). He explained where each sake originated from. Honestly a very interesting and informative tour with d

Great sake tasting experience! Kenji was extremely knowledgeable and we learned so much from him while sampling some delicious varieties. Kenji also graciously helped us to understand some Japanese language basics and indulged us as we asked him tons of questions about sake, Japanese culture, and local cuisine. Highly recommend booking with Kenji!

Kenji is a reliable guide and will be easy to relate to, he explained everything about sake with patience and meticulousness. It was very interesting to understand the nature of sake and its production, with historical references too. The tastings that he will choose based on your tastes will surprise you from the first to the last glass.

If you are looking for a very informative and interesting tour - book Kenji without hesitation! Kenji brought us to a very central place and chose different kinds of sake based on our own preferences, allowing us to discover new tastes while he was sharing some facts on sake history, making and breweries.

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Sake-Verkostungstour mit Kenji als unserem Guide. Die Tour war unterhaltsam, informativ und perfekt organisiert. Wir waren zu zweit, sodass die Atmosphäre persönlich und angenehm war. Wir können diese Tour nur weiterempfehlen!

The price does not cover transportation to/from attractions and hotel pickup and drop-off. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Yes, if you tell us when you book rather than on the day. Dashi, the fish stock, is in almost everything, so vegetarian and vegan need to be named specifically and the host will plan a kombu-based version. Halal-certified restaurants exist in the big cities but are fewer, so say so early.
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.
