Overview

Gain a riveting introduction to Kyoto’s food culture with this small-group guided tour. Begin with the 400m long Nishiki Market, nicknamed 'Kyoto's Kitchen,' where over 130 food shops and stalls will beckon your taste buds. Learn about its food culture, history and taste the unique dishes including: Tofu Skin, sesame cracker, Japanese pike conger eel, omelet, Croquette and Japanese Sake. Rest your appetite by a nearby shrine dedicated to the God of Education (Nishiki Shrine). Follow this up by sauntering through the famous Pontocho Geisha Alley- a narrow street. It’s lined with enduring shops and traditional restaurants waiting to be explored, and the complete dismal of cars and modern buildings invites you further to be engrossed by the mesmeric surroundings. Here, alongside our final destination, Gion district is renowned for Geisha living area. Not only will you be educated about this classical tradition, you may have the chance to even meet one but if you are lucky!
