Line 217:

There is a walking tour called "Walk in Kyoto, Talk in English" (16/over ¥2000; 13-15 ¥1000; under 13 free; no reservations, cash only). The tour is given by Hajime Hirooka, better known to the tourists as Johnny Hillwalker. During the five-hour English-speaking tour, Hillwalker shows tourists a large Buddhist temple, a few Shinto shrines and "workshops" (some are just shops) in the back alleys of the city. However, the tour won't take you to the World Heritage Sites nor give you a good overview of the city. The tour operates rain or shine on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between March and November, excluding public holidays. Departure time is 10:15 AM sharp outside the main (north) entrance of Kyoto station. See [http://web.kyoto-inet.or.jp/people/h-s-love/ Johnnie's Kyoto Walking] for more information.

MeetUs Kyoto offers various cultural activities hosted by locals. The project is organised by university students, and they will translate between English and Japanese during the tour(usually locals don't speak English.)
