Kyoto Evening Gion Food Tour Including Kaiseki Dinner

Posted By : Irene_C
Really informative and interesting tour through the Gion district of Kyoto.
Our guide, Sae was personable and wonderful. We stopped at a few local shops (delicious matcha cookies, plum shop, etc) for samples and explanation of the different specialities. The tour concluded with an amazing ten course traditional Japanese meal. The tour guide also taught us basic Japanese words of graffitied related to meals. We also learned about personal perspectives of our guide who has lived abroa and is now back in Japan. We have done a lot of food tours around the world, this was by far the best.

Yoshiko was an incredible tour guide. Kind, warm hearted, and very passionate about Kyoto and its history and traditions. We loved exploring the Gion district and sharing stories over a traditional Kaiseki dinner (delicious). This is a great tour if you are looking to experience the heart of Kyoto ♥️

We really enjoyed our guided tour of Gion! It gave us some amazing context into the area including shops that have been around the area for years. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helped answer all of our questions. For the price point, we expected dinner to be more filling and a higher quality experience but overall the food was solid.

We had a great time on our Gion tour. It ended up just being our family (two adults and a baby) and was a very informative and enjoyable stroll through Gion. The dinner was great, and they were very polite about our fussy baby. Highly recommend!

Our Kyoto Evening and Geisha Food Tour was awesome - sugoi! Thanks to our wonderful tour guide, Yoshiko. She showed us all the beautiful sceneries of the city. She was knowledgeable of each place's history. Best of all, we had a great time during our traditional Japanese dinner. We ate as a family, learning and sharing each other's culture and traditions.

Yoshiko was very friendly, polite, warm and beautiful.

We would love to have her as our tour guide on our next visit, and spread good words about her to friends/relatives who would tour Japan.

Thanks Yoshiko for giving us a very memorable night in Kyoto! Take care.

Our guide, Zae, was great! You really feel that she loves her job and she loves sharing her knowledge with her customers. She told us a lot about Gion district and Japanese food.
I’d definitely recommend the guide, although the tour was way too expensive.

The tour and dinner exceeded our expectations in every way. If you have never been to Kyoto or Japan this tour is a great way to experience the local Gion area.

Yoshiko was a phenomenal tour guide. We saw some beautiful side streets in gion, learned about miyako and geisha culture, and had an incredible, unforgettable kaiseki meal that left us stuffed to the gills. I went with my four sisters, and Yoshiko felt like a member of our family. We were all laughing and trading stories throughout the night. I couldn’t imagine a better night exploring old Kyoto. Thank you so much!!!
