There are many old streets in old capital Kyoto area. I design a walking tour set of 31 streets.You can see the true Kyoto in this tour which is not in current tourism. It is like Kyoto of 30 years ago. You could see Japanese kitchen knife shops, Nishijin kimono shops and etc.You can visit some of the shops and I will interpret between the shop owner and you.
At the lobby in your Hotel (in Kyoto city)
We start from Shijou station or your hotel and then go west to Nishiooji street. (Our distination is Saiin station)
12:00 We have lunch at some restraurant alomg Bukkouji street.
14:00 We get our distination, Saiin station (Hankyu line).
Saiin station(Hankyu railway or Keifuku railway)
Guide fee, Guide's transportation fee between guide's house and Kyoto, hotel pick-up in Kyoto city
lunch, dinner,
entrance fee(Nishijin Asagi museum 500yen, Kyo-Machiya Hata-ke 1000yen, Mibu-dera 300yen) ,
Public transportation fee for you and guide during the tour(less than 1000yen for each),
Hotel pick-up in Osaka city(optional).
In this tour, you can drop into your favorite shops. The guide gives you basic explanations and interprets the conversations between you and shop clerks.
You will walk long(the street length is around 4.7km from Gojou station to Tanbaguchi station).
So you have to wear suitable shoes for walking.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the tour might not cover all destinations since the ending may not be changed.
If we leave hours, we can go a neighbor street.
I can guide you from Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, and Nara if you pay the pick up fee.
Please ask the fee.

(42 reviews)Dear Stefan Thank you for your evaluation. I am sorry I stop working in Kyoto this summer because of the heat. But I have tours in other areas and I will start to work in Kyoto from next fall. Yours sincerely, Yoshi
“Great Itinerary ”
We had a very pleasant time being led around the city with Yoshi. He had an extensive 2 day itinerary and we could not have seen as much without his guidance.

“Kyoto has so much to offer!”
Yoshi showed us not only the sights but all the transportation modes in Kyoto. He was very well prepared, handing us printed information on different topics such as different eras and religions. He adapted the tour to our needs. The only negative comment is that his English is sometimes difficult to understand. We had a great day!
