Sanjo & Kawaramachi, Kyoto
Kyoto without words
A wordless performance, a restaurant lane, and dinner at your own pace.
Book an evening GEAR performance first, then choose a restaurant near Pontocho for after the show. If your date only has a daytime performance, begin earlier and let dinner be the start of the night.
Book the centrepiece
Take your seat at GEAR
Use the official schedule for a real performance on your date. Arrive with your ticket and give the show your attention.
Before you goAfter the curtain
Make room for dinner in Pontocho
Navigate to your chosen restaurant, read its menu and confirm any charge. Keep the lane clear and let the evening slow down over dinner.
Before you goA change of plan
If GEAR has no suitable performance, keep Pontocho as a dinner-led evening. Do not arrive expecting a show without a confirmed listing.
A good way home
Check a route from your final stop to your accommodation before going out. Leave in time for your actual last connection, or arrange another return option.
