What you can expect

  • Discover the local charm of Kyoto on a guided walking tour through Sanjo Shopping Street, a lively covered arcade filled with shops, restaurants, and everyday local life.

    Meet your English-speaking local guide and begin your walk through the arcade. Your guide will introduce you to the area, local shops, Japanese food culture, and the everyday life of Kyoto residents.

    As you explore the shopping street, enjoy several small local food tastings included in the tour. Depending on the day and availability, you may try popular Japanese snacks and local specialities while learning about their history and cultural background.

    The tastings are designed to give you a chance to discover different flavours without making the experience too heavy. You can also browse the shops and enjoy the lively atmosphere of this local shopping area.

    Additional food and drinks are optional and can be purchased separately at your own expense. There is no requirement to purchase additional food or drinks during the tour.

    This relaxed walking experience is a great way to discover a different side of Kyoto away from the major tourist attractions. Walk with a local guide, taste a few local specialities, and experience the atmosphere of a traditional Kyoto shopping street.
