Kyoto's Best Gems - Private Shore Excursion from Osaka Ports
The old school Japan is definitely more felt in Kyoto than other big cities
Our Osaka guide Miyako was so enthusiastic and full of information that we asked her to come with us to Kyoto. We went to the internet famous shrine with all those red gates, and it was very crowded but really fun to walk under them. Gion was not as we expected because we were hoping to see geishas, but apparently they are out more in the evenings, and our Kyoto tour was in the daytime. Gion area had lots of cute shops and charm, and we even passed some geisha houses. The old school Japan is definitely more felt in Kyoto than other big cities like Osaka.

Kyoto's Best Gems - Private Shore Excursion from Kobe Port
Many charming traditional ares. The rain and too many umbrellas made it a 4-star.
We have been to Japan before, but never have been to Kyoto. Definitely more traditional than Tokyo and Osaka, and much larger than the small towns near Mt Fuji. It was raining all day, so although the trees and walk paths were beautiful from the rain shimmer, the umbrellas everyone was carrying took away from being able to see the charm of the smaller stores and pathways. Try to go on a non-rainy day if you can because I think it makes a difference on the experience when in the more popular areas. Our guide was great, personable, and answered all of our questions.

A Stroll Through Old Kyoto Geisha at Dusk
Chill vibes
Very informative guide! Patient as well, given we were a bit late. Dusk vibes were nice, different experience from the usual day tours.
