Hotel The Celestine Kyoto Gion is offering free tourist information provided by the concierge, ``Gion-Higashiyama Walking Tour,'' exclusively for hotel guests. This is an original tour where you can visit popular spots and famous places in the area, as well as hidden spots that only locals know about, on foot, with hotel staff who know everything about Kyoto Gion.
Ninenzaka
There are two tours: the ``North Course'' and the ``South Course.'' The ``North Course'' takes you to popular spots and landmarks in Gion, such as Hanamikoji, Yasaka Tower, Ninenzaka, and Ishibekoji, while also giving you a chance to experience hidden historical sites and Kyoto culture. On this course, you can enjoy places full of Kyoto characteristics.
The ``South Course'' is a course that allows you to enjoy the charming Higashiyama area, including famous historical sites such as Kennin-ji Temple, Rokuharamitsu-ji Temple, Miyagawa-cho, and Ajiki Alley, as well as the many back alleys that only locals can enjoy. It will also guide you to hidden spots you don't know about.
Full-fledged walking tours last 60 minutes in the summer and 90 minutes at other times of the year, and depending on the day of the week, English is also available.
Why not experience Kyoto in a deeper way that you won't find in guidebooks?
