Kyoto Gion Night Walk Small Group Guided Walking Tour - 3 Hour

Ever wanted to spontaneously book a tour on the same day you take it? This short guided walking tour will have you experiencing the Gion night scene in just three hours! This is perfect if you only have a couple of hours to spare.

Enjoy the enchanting nightlife of Gion, Kyoto's historic geisha district. As the sun sets, the streets come to life with beautifully illuminated lanterns, elegant restaurants, charming bars, and traditional teahouses. Wander around the traditional backstreets, visit offbeat temples and shrines, and may even get to catch a glimpse of a geiko or maiko (apprentice geiko) on their way to entertain guests (not guaranteed).

“One of my favorite locations when traveling to Japan. The style of buildings, restaurants, and storefronts transport you back in time. Seeing so many people dressed in kimonos is gorgeous and fun. There’s always something to do and somewhere to go.” – Aimee, USA

Go on this guided walking tour with a friendly and knowledgeable guide who will help you explore  Hanamikoji Street (one of the best-preserved historic streets), Yasaka Shrine (also known as Gion Shrine), and more. Learn about the rich history, architecture, and customs of the area, and gain a deeper understanding of Japan's culture and traditions.

“Gion is probably the most fascinating district of Kyoto. It should be visited both by day and night, but especially at night when it is wonderfully atmospheric. It feels like old Japan: traditional buildings and narrow alleyways evoke an air of mystery as if there is another Gion hidden just out of sight. Walking through the tiny alleys feels like stepping back in time.” – Albion, UK
