Kyoto in One Day: Fushimiinari & Gion — Guide Kazz

What's a Private Day Trip from Tokyo to Kyoto Like? A Licensed Guide's Report

The guests were visitors from North America. This was a day trip from Tokyo. The weather had been rainy for a long time, but today it was refreshing and pleasant. For shopping, they only picked up some furikake with ease. They took only a few photos. They did not show much interest in the history of Kyoto. At Nishiki Market, they happily enjoyed takoyaki, fried chicken, and wagyu skewers. I shared information about the shops in Teramachi and Shinkyogoku, and we walked to Hanamikoji Street in Gion, wrapping up around the Kaburenjo Theater in the Kobu district. Before returning to Tokyo on the 17:00 bullet train, they seemed to plan to head back once more to Teramachi shopping street for some shopping. A notable stop on the tour was Nishiki Market in Kyoto. Known as "Kyoto's Kitchen," Nishiki Market is a narrow shopping street lined with more than a hundred shops and stalls selling local specialties, fresh seafood, pickles, sweets, and various Japanese street foods. With a history stretching back several centuries, it has long been a central spot for Kyoto's food culture and remains a popular destination for both locals and visitors seeking seasonal ingredients and tasty bites.

I’m Ryoichi Kazuma and my nickname is “Kazz”. I live in Kyotanabe city next to Kyoto city. I want guests to enjoy Kyoto by seeing and experiencing not only from outside but also from inside. I offer various information from daily matters to traditional cultures. Most destinations in Kyoto are located on the eastern side or the western side. As I want to guide guests to as many destinations as possible, I make an efficient itinerary and recommend a taxi use to save time. Additionally, I take pictures at various spots and finally share the link to my storage. By doing so, guests can download their favorite pictures from my storage. Please enjoy Kyoto night and day!
