A rickshaw puller or a private guide earns their fee in Higashiyama, where knowing which lane to duck down is the difference between a crowd and a quiet temple garden. Some of these stretch on to Fushimi Inari, so decide if you want one district or a whole day.
Join us on a captivating private rickshaw tour of Kyoto's enchanting Gion and Higashiyama area. Discover hidden gems, immerse in history, and embrace the beauty of traditional Japan.
