Experience Details

The incredibly picturesque streets of Kyoto can be as beautiful as they are crowded. This tour allows you to dodge the tourist crowds and instead venture into the local areas most travelers miss. You’ll explore the district of Fushimi, a long-standing sake-producing area. Your host will take you through a vibrant shopping street beloved by locals, where you’ll taste some of the city’s most delicious street foods and snacks and learn more about its history and culture.


Dishes and snacks in this tour typically include:

- Taiyaki (a traditional fish-shaped filled cake that can be either sweet or savory)

- Crunchy Japanese-style fried chicken (karaage)

- A rich and savory “kare-pan” (Japanese curry bread)

- An assortment of izakaya-style appetizers

- Matcha sweets


As you visit several food stops and experience their wide range of flavors, you’ll get to know the stories behind each dish, from local ingredients to traditional cooking techniques. Your host will share insights and take you to see a side of Kyoto you’ve likely never experienced before, showing you the gems hidden in historical streets and eateries that make the city so special.
