Very nice walking tour with a fabulous dinning experience followed by a Sake testing with tasty small plates. Yuki was an excellent host and we navigated two districts within Gion Kyoto. We dined outside with our legs under a heated table in early cool weather. Highly recommend based on host and their choice of dinning experience. Took the stress out of navigating back alleys and guess work of choosing a resturant. Thanks Yuki!’

Come hungry! It was a real Japanese foodie experience! Yuma picked out authentic places to have two wonderful meals and drinks! Then our last stop was dessert, tea or coffee.
