Overview

Enjoy seeing traditional Japanese performances at the Gion Corner.

This tour allows you to enjoy watching/experiencing Japanese traditional performances, including Japanese traditional dance, Noh, Kyogen, Bunraku, koto, tea ceremony, and Japanese traditional flower arrangement.

Take a stroll around the Gion Historical Preservation District while heading to the Yoshi-ima Ryokan from Gion Corner. Enjoy exploring the narrow streets with many old ochayas (Japanese-style teahouse providing meals and performances of maiko girls and geiko women). Enjoy an exclusive private evening tea ceremony under candle light at Yoshi-ima Ryokan's tea ceremony room Kurenaitei. Dinner will be served in Zen-style, a simple but well-balanced dietetic meal now attracting global attention.

Shojin-ryori, or Buddhist vegetarian cuisine, is served for supper, so we welcome vegetarian participants. The ingredients of tempura are tofu, namafu wheat gluten, yuba tofu skin, and vegetables in season, such as eggplants, lotus root, ginger, and shiitake mushroom. Miso soup and rice are also served.
