“Get to know Kyoto”
The free walking tour with Kazu in Kyoto was awesome! He gave us a lot of interesting information about the japanese way of living, the shinto and buddhism religion and their origin, the meaning of those religion to the japanese people, the difference between shrines and temples, the geisha culture, the japanese language,…
We visited the Gion quarter, the Yasaka shrine and Chionin temple.
Kazu was a very kind guide open for any question to answer and very fluent in speaking english. The tour even could have been longer since the 2,5 hours went by really fast.
Totally can recommend this free walking tour!

“A very insightful experience ”
The tour with Kazu was very informative and I have thought about some of the things he told us quite a few times in the last days. About the relation of the Japanese people to religion, about the schooling of geisha’s, about the differences between temples and shrines… the pace was quite quick and some may prefer to take it slow or go back but it was a great experience upon arrival in Kyoto. Thanks!

I had such a great time on this free walking tour. Our guide Cazu was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Kyoto’s history and culture.

We had an amazing experience with the Kyoto Free Walking Tour in the Gion District! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and brought the rich history of Kyoto to life with engaging stories and insights about geisha culture, traditional architecture, and the local customs.
The pace of the tour was perfect—relaxed yet full of interesting stops, hidden gems, and photo opportunities. We especially appreciated the guide's passion for Kyoto's heritage and the way he answered everyone's questions with enthusiasm and depth.

“Little why”
No history at all, a bit about what geishas learn and do. Lots of "this is this, that is that", but sadly no why this and that is.
The guide was super nice and euphoric.
The two temples we visited were also alot of what but no how and why.
Free Walking Tours are generally considered great because of their cultural insights and depths of knowledge. This wasn't the case on this tour.

The tour was very good.

Our experience with the Kyoto Free Walking Tour was fantastic! Our guide was amazing—knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing the town's rich history and culture.

“Nice Tour of Gion”
Nice tour of the historic Gion district, including some of the geisha streets, with a friendly, english-speaking guide.
This is a fast paced tour that covers a lot of ground in 2 hours. Although the streets and attractions of Kyoto can be extremely busy and crowded, this tour follows a route that is not too terribly crowded for the most part.
When you are on the Geisha streets then, seriously, NO PHOTOS, regardless of what you see other inconsiderate people doing!

The Free Walking Tour of Kyoto's Gion district is a delightful journey that perfectly marries the historic charm and vibrant modern life of the area. Starting at the historic Minami-za Theater, Japan's oldest kabuki theater, the tour captures the essence of traditional Japanese performing arts.

Highlights include the serene Yasaka Shrine, providing a tranquil retreat amidst the city bustle, and the breathtaking views from Maruyama Park during cherry blossom season. The tour also winds through the charming streets of Shirakawa-Minami Dori, famous for its traditional machiya houses, before concluding in the lively Pontocho district, a hub for exquisite dining and entertainment. This walking tour is a wonderful way to immerse yourself in the heart of Kyoto’s Gion area, offering both scenic beauty and a deep dive into the cultural tapestry of the city. Highly recommended for an unforgettable experience!
