Kyoto Night All-Inclusive Eats and Streets, Gion and Beyond

Explore Gion by night in a small group, guided by a local expert fluent in your language and Japanese. From the historic Yasaka Shrine to the vibrant streets of Gion, experience Kyoto’s rich culture and authentic flavors at every stop. Discover the traditions of the Geishas, enjoy local delicacies, and immerse yourself in the true spirit of Kyoto.

The Gion has secrets and history scattered across its narrow streets, but this is also a modern entertainment district—so it’s time for a deep dive into what goes on here. Your guide will keep it light and fun, and explain some of the more interesting cultural mores of these parts. Step into a restaurant and graze from a multitude of small plates at a sort of Japanese-style tapas experience. Enjoy a drink as well before continuing on.  

Between restaurant stops, there will be an exploration of Kiyamachi, Ponto-cho, and some other commercial and nightlife streets. Your guide will show you both modern and historical Kyoto, painting a well-rounded picture that gives you a real sense of the place. This tour keeps the groups small and includes your food and drinks, so that you can have a carefree night like you’re simply hanging out with someone who knows the neighborhood.

A delicious Kobe (or nearby sourced) Beef option is available on top of the usual food and drink. This option is for bookings at least 10 hours in advance.
