Description

Discover unique flavors on an evening culinary tour in the heart of Kyoto! 

Ancient capital of Japan, Kyoto boasts a unique culinary culture that has developed over the centuries.

In small groups of 6, you'll explore the neighborhoods of Gion, a traditional district with cobblestone alleys and ancient houses, and Pontocho, famous for its lively lanes, restaurants and bars.

With anecdotes and advice from an expert local guide, you'll visit stand-up drinking bars and sample local specialties accompanied by typical drinks. Your first stop will be to learn more about Kyoto's geiko, women who devote their lives to performing traditional Japanese arts to entertain a wealthy clientele, while strolling through the city's historic streets. You'll continue on your way and cross the Kamogawa River to enjoy the lively atmosphere of the city center. 

After the tour, you'll have the choice to continue your evening in Kyoto's many restaurants and bars to extend the experience to your heart's content.
