Explore Kyoto by night on a guided food tour with 7+ Kyoto-style tastings and 3 drinks across Nishiki Market, Pontocho, and Kiyamachi.
Getting started
Meet your guide at the designated starting point in central Kyoto and get a quick overview of the evening’s route through Nishiki Market, Pontocho, and Kiyamachi. After a brief introduction to the group and any food restrictions you have shared in advance, set off on foot into the nearby streets to begin your Kyoto foodie night tour.
What to expect
Nishiki Market
Nishiki Market is Kyoto’s historic food corridor, lined with tightly packed stalls and small eateries that specialize in local ingredients and snacks. This is where your tasting journey begins, surrounded by the everyday food culture that supplies many of the city’s kitchens.
Features
Over your time in Nishiki Market, you start sampling from the 7+ Kyoto-style Japanese food tastings that are included, trying dishes prepared by locally owned restaurants and vendors.
Guided exploration of Nishiki Market helps you navigate both popular and more hidden spots, so you experience the authentic taste of Kyoto through over 10 local dishes rather than only a single specialty.
Pontocho
Pontocho is a narrow alley along the river known for its concentrated dining scene and traditional atmosphere. You spend part of the evening here stepping into locally owned restaurants to continue your food tastings.
Features
Inside Pontocho, the guided exploration focuses on eateries that showcase Kyoto-style Japanese food, adding more of your 7+ tastings, from savory bites to smaller side dishes that build into a full dinner.
This section of the tour includes one or more of your 3 drinks of choice, with options such as local brews, sake, spirits, or soft drinks, so you can customize what you sip alongside the dishes served here.
Kiyamachi
Kiyamachi is a lively street that runs parallel to the river, filled with bars, restaurants, and casual spots that stay active into the night. Your guide leads you through its backstreets to round out both the route and the tasting count.
Features
In Kiyamachi, you visit additional locally owned restaurants that complete the promised 7+ Kyoto-style Japanese food tastings, filling in any remaining dishes so that you reach the total of over 10 local items enjoyed across the evening.
This final stretch is also when you can use any remaining drink choices from your included 3 drinks, whether you prefer another local brew, a different style of sake or spirits, or non-alcoholic soft drinks.
