Private Tour - Enjoy Kyoto at night! visit Kyoto's hidden night view spots

3 hours

Easy

Let's walk around Gion, Kyoto at night. If you are lucky, you may even see a maiko.

Known as the "City of a Thousand Years," Kyoto is a beautiful city where old historic buildings, modern cityscapes, and nature coexist in harmony.
While visiting Kyoto in the daylight is of course beautiful, Kyoto at night offers a different, more magical and mysterious atmosphere than in the daytime.
This tour will take you to some of Kyoto's most popular areas, such as Gion and Sanneizaka, at night, allowing you to fully enjoy the beauty of Kyoto at night.

The first stop on the tour will be the "Gion" area with its beautiful Japanese and traditional buildings. Enjoy the typical Kyoto atmosphere. After Gion, we will visit Yasaka Shrine, a shrine with deep historical ties to Gion. The Gion Festival, a festival held at this shrine, is one of the most famous festivals in Kyoto.
A short walk from there takes you to the "Sanneizaka Area. The five-story pagoda and other buildings set among the cobblestone pavement is truly a scene of Kyoto's beauty. Lastly, the "Gion Shirakawa" area is located near Gion, but still offers beautiful Japanese scenery with a stream running along the cobblestone streets and a shrine.

If you are looking for a different kind of sightseeing in Kyoto, want to enjoy the fantastic night view of Kyoto, or want to enjoy Kyoto in your spare time, this is the place for you. This is the plan we recommend for you!
