Highlights

Step into the secret alleys of Kyoto and experience Japanese-style bars where locals gather to enjoy food and drinks. Before the tour begins, your expert guide will have a short consultation with you to understand your preferences, then take you to the bars that best match your taste. Wander through the charming backstreets of the Kawaramachi area, lined with tiny bars, traditional confectionery stands, and local food markets. For those interested, there will be chances to sample local bites as you stroll through the neighborhood. At each bar, your guide will introduce you to delicious pairings of sake and Kyoto-style side dishes. Every venue has its own unique homemade specialties — some of which you won’t find on any tourist menu. You’ll also visit a small hidden shrine and hear fascinating stories about its history. Exploring Kyoto on your own is wonderful, but with this tour, you’ll discover a whole new, authentic side of the city.

About Kyoto

Kyoto, Japan's imperial capital for over a thousand years, is a city of temples, gardens, wooden townhouses and refined traditions.

The city holds many of Japan's most treasured sites. Fushimi Inari Taisha's thousands of vermilion torii gates climb a wooded mountain, Kinkaku-ji's Golden Pavilion shimmers over its pond, and Kiyomizu-dera's wooden stage juts from the hillside above the city. The rock garden of Ryoan-ji and the mossy grounds of Ginkaku-ji invite quiet contemplation.

Top-ranked sights in Kyoto: Fushimi Inari Shrine (Fushimi Inari Taisha), Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
