Een van de populairste wandeltochten in Japan. Als pionier van dergelijke wandeltochten is het al sinds 2007 geliefd bij mensen en hebben sindsdien meer dan 100.000 gasten zich aangesloten. Gion is het meest traditionele district van Kyoto, waar de cultuur van Kagai, de wereld van Maiko-san en Geiko-san nog steeds leeft. Hoewel veel toeristen naar Gion komen, kan het moeilijk zijn om de omvang en schoonheid van Gion volledig te bevatten. Uw gids zal de geschiedenis van Kagai, het leven van Maiko-san en Geiko-san uitleggen en u zelfs meenemen naar de achterafstraatjes van Gion. Wandel met een ervaren, deskundige, erkende Engelstalige gids en ontdek de diepten van de oude hoofdstad, Kyoto.
Ga mee met een van de populairste wandeltochten die door goed opgeleide Engelssprekende gidsen in Japan worden uitgevoerd met ongeveer 5000 gasten per jaar. Je begint met het verkennen van de verborgen straat van de wijk Geisha tijdens de 2 uur durende tour. Maak een wandeling door de klassieke geplaveide straatjes naast de Shirakawa rivier, waarvan het landschap te zien was in de roman en film, "Memoirs of a Geisha." Terwijl je langs deze prachtige beek wandelt, zal de gids je ook de geschiedenis van geisha vertellen en je een gedetailleerde uitleg geven over hun kimono, kapsel, traditionele regels en hoe hun dagelijks leven is. Hoewel er geen garantie is, zullen gasten tijdens de wandeltocht vaak geisha tegenkomen die op straat lopen. Maak je klaar om alles te leren over de wereld van de maiko en geiko! U kunt ook kiezen voor de small-grourp optie.

Our guide Miya was excellent! She gave us a really insightful tour of Gion and educated us on Geiko’s and Maiko’s. She took us around the district and we actually caught both Geiko/Maiko’s leaving their boarding house to attend a tea party! This was a highlight of the tour!
Mia was a fantastic guide! Her knowledge about Geisha's culture and overall Kyoto history is very impressive. We learned so much.. The best spend 2 hours in Kyoto
Excellent insight into the Geisha culture. The guide was knowledgeable and the walking pace was appropriate for the group.
Very friendly fun and considerate with us, explained everything interestingly and made us want to visit the city more for their recommendations
I was extremely lucky and was the only person on the tour tonight. My guide was fantastic - very knowledgable and made the tour so fun and interesting. Great way to explore the area.
The tour was very informative and interesting. The guide Mia was excellent. A reasonable group size made the tour better.
Perfect 2 hours with history lesson and nice alleys. We were lucky enough to see beautiful Geicos. Loved every minute.
Expert Guide, great knowledge, friendly , walked at a good pace for us & had a good sense of humour.
Great tour with excellent tour guide Mia Gave such great insight into the culture Must do on your trip to Kyoto
While Gion was gorgeous, I’d choose a different tour. The guide was young and inexperienced. She gave incorrect information regarding geishas and was unaware of some traditions (for example, she thought shrine employees taped over a wish plaque because “it was something bad” but we learned at another shrine that some people believe keeping your wish hidden made it more likely to come true).
Thank you very much for joining our tour in Kyoto and for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely regret that your experience did not meet your expectations, especially regarding the guidance provided. While our expert guides have more than 20 years of experience, we newly employed two young guides in their 20s and assigned them for the tour in this July after a strict training program. We could identify the guide in charge of your group thanks to your remarks saying “the guide was young” and “she” in your feedback. We take all feedback seriously, and we are currently reviewing the performance of the guide in question. As part of our ongoing commitment to providing high-quality experiences, we will be evaluating her suitability for guiding and, if necessary, providing additional training and educational support. If we find that these improvements do not bring her up to the expected standard, we will consider more serious personnel decisions to ensure that the quality of our tours remains high. Regarding the explanation given about the wish plaque (Ema) at the shrine, we appreciate your bringing this to our attention. We would like to clarify that recent reports have indicated that, in some cases, plaques are covered or hidden not because of the nature of the wishes, but rather due to concerns over personal information protection. However, we also recognize that different shrines may observe different traditions, and your interpretation about wishes being more powerful when kept secret is also a commonly held belief in Japan. We appreciate your understanding that cultural practices can be nuanced and vary by location. Once again, we thank you for your feedback. We’re committed to improving our services and ensuring that future guests have an informative, accurate, and enjoyable experience. Warm regards,
