Kyoto Food Tours: Where the Locals Go With Magical Trip
We love food tours for a couple reasons. The most obvious is because, well, we love food. More specifically, we love experiencing new foods. And we love exposing our kids to new foods. We also love food tours because it’s a great way to get to know the local culture. Often there is a history behind certain foods or other unique aspects that are important to its people. And you can sample many of these popular foods in a short amount of time – another major perk! Which is why we set out to see if we could do a Kyoto food tour with kids.
In addition to its temples and gardens, Kyoto is renowned for its traditional arts and crafts. Visit a traditional tea house and witness the intricate tea ceremony, a ritual that has been perfected over centuries. Walk through the historic Gion district, known for its geisha culture, and catch a glimpse of these elegant and mysterious figures dressed in their traditional attire. Food lovers will also be in for a treat in Kyoto. The city is famous for its traditional cuisine, which includes specialties such as kaiseki (a multi-course meal) and tofu dishes. Don't miss the opportunity to try Kyoto's famous matcha green tea and indulge in a mouthwatering bowl of ramen. As night falls, Kyoto takes on a magical aura. The Fushimi Inari Shrine, with its seemingly endless rows of vibrant orange torii gates, is a sight that becomes even more mystical under the cover of darkness. Explore the Gion district at night and witness the lantern-lit streets come alive with a unique atmosphere. A trip to Kyoto wouldn't be complete without experiencing a traditional Japanese hot spring, or onsen. Soak in the natural hot springs and let your worries melt away as you relax in the healing waters. Kyoto truly is a city that will transport you to another world. It is a place where ancient traditions meet modernity, where history and beauty blend seamlessly. Prepare to be spellbound and embark on a magical journey to Kyoto, a destination that will leave you with memories to cherish for a lifetime..
