Daniel has been strolling around Kyoto for 4 years and knows very well this city he likes so much. Sharing the intimate secrets of this city that lives hidden is one of the challenges that Daniel offers you to live.
Away from the crowds on the slopes of the historic district of Higashiyama you will discover beautiful Kyoto architecture in the company of Daniel. Walk through temples where calm and serenity reign, and enjoy furtive glances from maiko and geiko in their sumptuous Kimonos.
Free for children under 10.
After registration, the organizers will confirm by email the good running of the chosen activity one week before the scheduled activity time.

Just a few words to thank you for the evening that you have enabled us to spend. It was really magical and we will remember it for a long time, and the beauty, refinement and peace which prevailed in the exceptional places that we visited affected us.
