Things to do in Gion Corner

My family enjoyed the performances esp the Koto duet and Maiko dance. Many foreigners were filming though asked not to. Overall, a wonderful experience for all.

This walking tour was a great tour with more steps added to your walking haha. Marie our tour guide was so knowledgeable about every attraction with their history and helpful in showing us what’s around the area of Kyoto, Gion etc. She also takes great photos and gives any food recommendations wherever we are. At the end we were given some gifts from Marie which was a nice suprise. Would book with her again next time.

Milo was my tour guide and he was fantastic! Very knowledgeable on everything Kyoto and i thoroughly enjoyed listening to him. I also loved how he met me at my hotel. He took me to some lovely souvenir shops and around the Keisha district and out of the hustle and bustle. Overall great experience!

Joined the 1-Day Kyoto Tour with Sunrise Tours and it was an absolute highlight of our Japan trip. Our tour guide was incredibly informative, courteous, and thoughtful — sharing fascinating insights while ensuring everyone felt comfortable and included. Perfectly organized with seamless transportation and a wonderful balance of must-see temples and hidden gems. Highly recommended!

This whole trip was so informative. You will learn so much about Japan's culture and tradition, including their beliefs. All thanks to our guide, Gabby, who spoke clearly and explained so well and was able to answer all the tourists' questions. Gabby knew her assignment-- explaining every detail along the way and always make sure to have a good laugh too. Go ahead and book! :)

It was a unique experience that I thoroughly enjoyed, from getting fitted in the kimono and having my hair styled, to the incredible tea ceremony where everything was explained, and even being able to wear the kimono to walk around the city. Highly recommended.

Kenta san was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a nice experience and feel so lucky to get a chance meeting a real Maiko and have a small talk, see her dance and perform and hear her story for her choice of life . I will definitely try again next time I’ll back to Kyoto.

Need a kitchen knife? Make your own. This is it! As a family of 5, it was well worth it to learn an aspect of culture and have your kids participate. This business in particular, is tailored to your group so there is no large corporate awkwardness. As a small business they are able assist you one on one, as necessary. Learn to make a knife: heating, pounding to shape, grinding and sharpening; all in one. I'm from the US and have toured a lot if places.....this one is fun, enjoyable, and most everyone can get something out of this experience.

Very nice shop with nice people. We had a lovely experience, with two teenagers. Here you pay upfront (for the basic chopsticks), that’s why they are more expensive than their competitors.
