Tour Features

Discover the hidden secrets of Kyoto as you explore the Karasuma–Gojo area, right in the heart of the city.

Karasuma Street runs straight north–south from Kyoto Station and is one of modern Kyoto’s main avenues.
Gojo Street is one of the widest east–west roads in the city.

But just one step off these major streets and into the back alleys, and suddenly…
The theme of this tour is “Back Alleys of Kyoto”!

You’ll find local life, hidden shops, and countless surprises in places even many Kyoto residents don’t know.
A mysterious alley here, an unexpected shop there—wander around and discoveries await at every turn.

We’ll introduce you to a side of Kyoto that never appears in guidebooks.

From tiny alleys barely wide enough for a single car to shrines and temples tucked away in quiet corners, you’ll experience the true depth of Kyoto.

Tours depart every hour, so you can easily join whenever you have a bit of free time.
Perfect for filling a small gap in your schedule.

60‑minute and 120‑minute versions of the tour are also available.
