Hello there! I am hoping you're having a great day!! My name is Jose, born and raised in Spain (Barcelona) and I have been living in Japan for the last 14 years, first it was Hiroshima that I called home, now it is Kyoto. This city is amazing, this country is just different, you need to feel it, you have to love it. I have a wide knowledge of japanese culture, it's social life and it's manners, as well as the most impressive monuments, streets, parks and temples, I mean I live here and I'm not planning on leaving, so yes, I am your guide if you want me to. I love the city of Kyoto and all of the wonders it has to offer to the people whom decide to visit it, from Fushimi Inari temple to Nijo Castle. It is a surprising city with combines the best of modern day activities with the reminiscence of old Japan. I would like to share my experience in Japan with you, so you have the greatest experience possible.

Overview of your Kyoto tour

Just a stroll through some of the most beautiful streets in Kyoto, who knows what we'll see, from evening lights to some of the most amazing places in Kyoto. There's five geiko (geisha) neighbourhoods in Kyoto, Kamishikien, Pontocho, Gion, Gion Kobu and Miyagawacho. We'll be visiting the most famous of them.

Your Kyoto tour itinerary

- Pontocho One of the most beautiful streets in Kyoto, Kiyamachi, Ochaya and restaurants for each and every budget. It's lovely! - Gion The most emblematic Geisha district in Kyoto, not the oldest, possibly the most famous, covering the streets of Shirakawa dori, Shinbashi dori and Hanamikoji dori, depending on the pace yet possibly, Kenniji temple.
