When the sun sets over Kyoto, Miyagawa-cho transforms into a magical realm of glowing lanterns, timeless beauty, and cultural intrigue. Located just south of Gion and running parallel to the Kamogawa River, this historical geisha district is a must visit, especially at night. Let's discover it together pedaling through its lantern-lit streets, which is the perfect way to experience the timeless charm and culture of Kyoto in a unique and unforgettable way. If we are lucky, we may spot a geisha or maiko in their elegant kimono as they make their way to the evening appointments. It could be the highlight of our tour.

Gion at night offers a unique and unforgettable experience, where the charm of Japan's traditional culture comes alive under the stars. The iconic Hanamikoji street, lined with historic tea houses (ochaya), is particularly stunning at night. We'll ride through Gion's most traditional zones.

After a pleasant ride through Maiko and Geisha alleyways, we visit one of Kyoto's most unusual and fascinating Shinto shrines, where visitors come seeking to cut ties with bad relationships or habits and form stronger and more positive ones. At the heart of the shrine there is a large sacred stone with a hole in the center. The ritual involves writing your wishes on a piece of paper and crawling through the hole to symbolize breaking away from the past and welcoming new ties.

The area surrounding Hokan-ji, better known as Yasaka Pagoda, is one of Kyoto's most photographed locations. The pagoda sits amidst narrow cobblestoned streets lined with traditional Machiya townhouses. At dusk, the streets are illuminated by lanterns, creating a magical atmosphere. No doubt, we'll be busy catching the best sceneries with our cameras.

Our next area of interest is the best night scenery, and spot for photos. Considered by many as the most traditional area of Japan, Ninenzaka is one of the two slopes that offer tourists an amazing view, specially at night, of what Japan used to be in the past.

It’s the most famous park in Higashiyama, with cherry trees, ponds and wooden bridges.
