Kamogawa River
The Kamo River, running through the heart of Kyoto, is a picturesque and tranquil waterway renowned for its scenic beauty and historical significance. The riverbanks are lined with cherry blossom trees, making it a popular spot for hanami (flower viewing) in the spring. Walking along the Kamo River, you can enjoy stunning views of traditional Japanese houses, modern cafes, and the beautiful blend of nature and urban life. It's an ideal place to relax, take a leisurely stroll, and immerse yourself in Kyoto's serene atmosphere.
Gion
Gion is Kyoto's most famous geisha district, known for its traditional wooden machiya houses, teahouses, and vibrant atmosphere. Walking through the narrow streets, you'll feel as though you've stepped back in time, surrounded by the elegance of old Japan. The area is bustling with visitors hoping to catch a glimpse of a geisha or maiko (apprentice geisha) as they make their way to evening engagements.

1.00A nice guide but very young and not well informed for any of my questions. He knew about facts that were on his flip board pictures but not much else. I was the only one and lots of quiet awkward time. Only think about Sake is that he offered me a small sample bottle to keep but nothing else about Sake. He didn't know why the Geisha's didn't have the white face makeup was not on the back of their neck.
We ❤️❤️❤️ our Guid Kathy

5.00Kathy was wonderful. We could not have asked for a better guide than her. Her knowledge of the city of Kyoto and the area we toured was amazing. A true gem. My only regret is that we couldn’t keep her for the rest of our trip. She was the Best!!!! Request Kathy, you won’t be disappointed. ❤️❤️❤️

5.00Good tour. With a very nice guide. Kyoto at night with beautiful spots and not as crowded as during the day. You learn a lot about the neighborhood and some shrines. It's worth it. The sake also tastes very delicious ☺️

5.00Great experience, get to see the town at night. Although would not recommend doing it with young kids or if you’re not a big walker. It’s a bit of a hike.
Fun and educational tour with Saki! Kathy the tour guide is a must

5.00We had an excellent waking tour in the Gion district with Kathy. We learned about the different areas, the history and where the locals hang on the river. We were taken to a few nice places to get photos. It was great experience, all while getting to taste some saki along the way. The group got along well, even in the sprinkling rain. Kathy made sure everyone had the photos they wanted and helped to make sure all questions were answered. I'd highly recommend the tour with Kathy
