Can the itinerary be changed?

Yes. The tour is fully customizable, so your guide can swap in quieter neighborhoods, gardens, markets, or cultural experiences based on your interests.

How do we travel between Osaka and Kyoto?

By train with your guide. From Osaka Station the ride to Fushimi Inari takes about 45 minutes, and the return from Kawaramachi Station takes around 50 minutes. Fares are included.

Where do we have lunch?

Around Gion, Nishiki Market, or Kawaramachi, depending on your preference. Your guide suggests favorite spots for sushi, tempura, udon, or okonomiyaki, and the meal is at your own expense.

It is never guaranteed, but the route passes through Pontocho and Hanamikoji Street in Gion, where geiko and maiko live and work, so with luck you may spot one.
