Itinerary

Day 1 · Kyoto

  1. Gion

    45 min

    Gion is Kyoto’s geisha district, with hostesses in colorful kimonos often sighted on the wooden Tatsumi Bridge, or amid upscale Japanese restaurants and boutiques on Hanamikoji Street. Gion Corner hosts traditional Kyomai dances, while Kennin-ji Temple is known for its Zen garden and Yasaka Shrine has seasonal festivals in a lantern-lit courtyard. Nightlife ranges from quiet sake bars to buzzing, pub-like izakayas.

  2. Nishiki Market

    one hour

    Nishiki Market, often called "Kyoto's Kitchen," is a bustling, narrow shopping street that has been a center for food culture for over 400 years. Stretching for about 400 meters and lined with over 100 shops and stalls, it's a paradise for foodies and a great place to experience the local culinary scene. Here you can find a vast array of fresh and preserved foods, from fresh seafood, pickles, and traditional sweets to locally grown vegetables and cookware. While it's a popular spot for tourists, it remains a vital market for locals, and many of the shops have been run by the same families for generations.

  3. Pontocho

    one hour

    Pontocho is a narrow, lantern-lit alley in Kyoto that runs parallel to the Kamo River. Known as one of Kyoto's traditional geisha districts, it comes alive in the evening as a premier dining and nightlife destination. The street is lined with traditional wooden machiya houses, which now house a wide variety of restaurants, from exclusive kaiseki (traditional multi-course) establishments to casual yakitori (grilled skewers) joints and modern bars
