Join a local guide for a nocturnal tour of Kyoto. Take a leisurely stroll through the timber-lined paths of ancient Gion and behold the charming lanes of vintage Pontocho. Uncover holy shrines tucked within trendy shopping districts and enjoy a variety of dishes and beverages with your guide at a classic izakaya or tachinomiya (standing bar). Kyoto after sunset is less of a location and more of an emotion, and with your guide accompanying you, you’ll instantly connect with it.

Within a day of your reservation, you’ll receive a brief questionnaire about your character and hobbies. Based on your answers, we’ll pair you with a guide who shares your interests.

Remember, your itinerary is adaptable, so feel free to modify your plans during your tour if you wish.
