What to expect
Come with us to discover Kyoto on a full-day walking tour. We begin at the Imperial Palace, former residence of the emperors until 1868, where centuries of imperial history come alive. We then visit Nijo Castle, symbol of samurai power and the Tokugawa shogunate, with its famous “nightingale floors” and elegant gardens. Lunch is at Nishiki Market, Kyoto’s culinary heart, before ending the day in Gion, Kyoto’s iconic traditional district. If we are lucky, we may glimpse a graceful geisha. This itinerary is indicative and fully customizable to your interests, preferences, and pace. History, culture, and gastronomy come together in one unforgettable day.
The Kyoto Imperial Palace used to be the residence of Japan's Imperial Family until 1868, when the emperor and capital were moved from Kyoto to Tokyo
Nijo Castle can be divided into three areas: the Honmaru (main circle of defense), the Ninomaru (secondary circle of defense) and some gardens around them
Nishiki Market is Kyoto’s vibrant food corridor, where centuries-old culinary traditions come alive through sizzling street food, local delicacies, and an electric atmosphere in the heart of the city.
Gion district is filled with shops, restaurants and ochaya (teahouses), where geiko (Kyoto dialect for geisha) and maiko (geiko apprentices) entertain
