Things to do in Pontocho

super loved it. fun, engaging, educational, funny and foodie must say was farely decent. fried chicken and beer? why not. all you can eat. good flow, great atmosphere for all to enjoy. would really recommend to others to try this experience once to enjoy the evening.

They only focus on photography services, which made me feel that they are very professional. That’s also one of the reasons why I chose them. Before the photoshoot, if you need to wear a kimono, the photographer is also very helpful and can recommend a good kimono rental shop. After the shoot, the photographer even recommended some authentic Japanese restaurants for us. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I really enjoyed every part of it. Highly recommended!

Everything was amazing, this lady was very sweet and helpful and did my hair exactly how i wanted it in under 10 minutes, also gave me advice about what hair accessories i should pick and it helped a lot cause it looked waaay better than what i wouldve picked myself. She helped us with an umbrella because it was raining and offered to take some pictures of us when we were both ready 🌸

we were with Tobi, he was such an energetic young guide with a lot of information, and we really enjoyed the tour with him. We highly recommend asking for Tobi to be your tour guide whenever you book this tour.

A beautiful evening for a guided stroll through Gion. Our tour guide Daniel was very knowledgeable and efficient. The 6pm time slot was perfect, especially seeing the sunset and Lanterns come to light. It’s a magical area.

A great 1 hour experience - very simple, laid back vibes and the option to go at your own pace. It was great to hear about the history and meaning behind Kintsugi.

We went on the tour of Kyoto with Thea. Our group was around 10 people and lasted.for about 2.5 hours. What a great way to get to see and understand the history of Kyoto. Both my 9 & 12 year old loved the tour as well, even more than the kitsunge workshop that we took earlier today. Thea was great in how she gave the group time to take photos, pray at different shrines if we wanted to, and helped capture nice family photos. Tip: Book a time about an hour before sunset so you can see some of the temples in daylight but also see Gion at night with lanterns.

The pre-trip reminders were very detailed. Although the meeting point was in a very bustling area, the tour guide arrived early and actively asked if people were there for the activity. We signed up for the Chinese-speaking group, and the small group size was excellent. Our guide, Jasmine, was very kind and explained everything in great detail. She was also able to answer more in-depth or other questions we had. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire tour, and she took great care of everyone in the group! I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in learning about Kyoto's traditional history!
