  • Amazing Gion and Kiyumizu tour with Teppei

    - Review from Viator

    5.00

    Teppei did above and beyond on how we got the best tour experience with Gion and Kiyumizu temple. We enjoyed walking to the shops in Gion and listening to Teppei’s stories about the history of the places we visited. We will not forget this experience and it makes us come back to Kyoto and bring the rest of our family.
