4. The road leading to Kiyomizu-dera Temple is lined with rows of souvenir shops, great for shopping.

5. At Gion Corner, enjoy some of Japan’s traditional performing arts such as a traditional Kyoto dance, tea ceremony, flower arrangement, koto music, bugaku (court dance and music), kyogen (traditional Japanese comic theater), bunraku (Japanese puppet theatre), or a noh play.

6. From Gion Corner to Gion Yoshi-Ima, enjoy a stroll while taking in the atmosphere of the town of Gion beautifully lit by paper lanterns in the evening.
7. This tour offers a special experience of having tea by candlelight in a traditional tea room in the courtyard of the ryokan.
