About this activity
Starting in Kamogawa, stroll with your guide along the local streets as you head toward the Kamogawa river with some possible seasonal food stops along the way. Along the river you will see the many Japanese locals sitting on Kamogawa yuka noryo (terraces along the water) enjoying their evening.
From Kamogawa, you will venture into the Pontocho, an area which has been home to Geisha since the 1500's. You may be lucky to catch a glimpse of them scampering between tea houses in their zori sandals and illuminating kimonos. Pontocho is known for its many bars, restaurants and machiya (teahouses) in the area.
Not long after your time in Pontocho, you will be in historical Gion, the most prominent entertainment district and Kyoto's centre of traditional arts. Gion is clad with old wooden buildings, tea houses and very exclusive Japanese restaurants, mostly by invitation only. Your guide will tell you stories about this very exquisite part of Tokyo along the way.
At the end of this short journey you will sit down to enjoy a 10 course kaiseki meal, where you will be able to try some of Kyotos freshest food. Kaiseki generally means a meal incorporating a combination of seasonal ingredients; meticulously prepared so all the flavors blend harmoniously. A visit in Kyoto is never complete without trying a Kaiseki meal. Enjoy this three hour tour and end it with a meal that you will never forget.
