Things to do in Pontocho

I booked the tour with Kyoto, and my tour guide was HAN from Local Guide STARS. She was great, and I really enjoyed the tour with her. She was eager to answer all the questions and very attentive to ensure that everyone in the group was following. She explained each spot enthusiastically and also recommended photo stops. As a solo traveller, it was good as I often don't have the opportunity to get my photos taken. I recommend Han (from Myanmar) to everyone taking this tour and would love to see her again in the future as well. Good luck to her.

This tour is one of the best I've had in Japan so far. True to what is being advertised. The places we went to are wonderful. Okini for today, Rick and Mika.

Very interesting visit. Despite my English not being excellent, I understood the explanations from our guide, Logan. Gion is a very beautiful place. I was delighted to learn so much about geishas.

INCREDIBLE time at the Kyoto sumo club. Super funny, entertaining, informative, and engaging. Unlimited food and drinks (alcohol included!) make it a great value and one of the highlights of our Kyoto trip. And absolute must for pretty much everybody

We enjoyed the tour! Ethan our tour guide has a lot of trivia about japan and I learned a lot from this tour. Kyoto is a very beautiful old city to visit.

I had such a wonderful experience with this kimono rental service! It was my first time wearing a kimono, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made me feel comfortable right away. They gave me plenty of time to browse and choose the kimono I liked, and the entire process was smooth and well organised. The team was very professional and attentive, making sure everything was fitted perfectly and looked beautiful. They also kindly helped me arrange a professional photographer, and the timing worked out perfectly for the photos. I would absolutely choose them again when I visit Kyoto next time as I had a memorable kimono experience!

I rarely leave reviews, but the photographer had an excellent personality. There was no need to worry about posing, as the actions he taught were very natural and simple, yet the results were outstanding. It was a truly worthwhile photography experience.

It was very comfortable. Only two stops a day, which we thought was just right – not too rushed, and plenty of time left over. 🙏 The guide spoke many languages, which was very impressive. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
