Why choose this Kyoto tour ?
The life of a geisha is shrouded in secrecy, but you’ll be offered a rare glimpse into this ‘Floating World’ as you explore Gion with one of our hosts. Visit the famous Pontocho alley; a narrow passageway lined with bars, restaurants, and traditional geisha tea houses. You’ll also explore the scenic street of Shimbashi. Enjoy this ethereal evening with your host, as you travel back in time together (figuratively, of course).
After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you’ll be assigned a like-minded host who will personalize the itinerary to your requests and interests.
