Immerse yourself in Gion's rich history, known for its culinary delights and vibrant entertainment scene dating back to the Edo period. Wander through centuries-old Japanese teahouses where Geisha performers mesmerized Imperial dignitaries.
Embark on your exploration at Yasaka Shrine, a stunning example of Heian-era architecture featuring a majestic 9.5m granite torii gate. Admire the intricate wooden lion dog sculptures by Unkei and marvel at the shrine's traditional cypress shingle roof, home to precious artifacts.
Stroll along the charming alleyways of Gion, lined with wooden-fronted shops and serene bamboo verandas. Keep an eye out for Geisha gracefully gliding in their geta sandals under the soft glow of lanterns. Your expert guide will regale you with stories of Kyoto's cultural heritage, transporting you to a bygone era amidst the picturesque Shirakawa district.
Indulge in an exquisite Kaiseki dinner, a culinary masterpiece showcasing seasonal ingredients in traditional Japanese tableware. Delight in a symphony of appetizers, sashimi, grilled delicacies, and rice-based dishes. Embrace Japanese dining etiquette by uttering "itadakimasu" before your meal and "gochiso-sama deshita" after, utilizing the oshibori towel and resting your chopsticks on the hashioki.
