Highlights

THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL GHOST TOUR.


This is something completely different—a uniquely Kyoto experience that blends creepy, fun, and thrilling storytelling with an unforgettable night out while walking around. If you’re expecting a haunted house, an asylum, or a prison tour or similar, this might not be for you!


We’ll start by grabbing a drink and dive into spine-tingling urban legends, chilling tales, and eerie events from Kyoto’s dark history. Instead of traditional yōkai or classic ghost stories, you’ll explore atmospheric streets and shadowy bamboo forests, immersing yourself in haunting tales and unique thrills.


This is for those who want a unique, creepy, and entertaining night out—not a typical ghost tour you’ve done before.


Please note that most restaurants in the area will be closed, so if you’d like to arrive a bit earlier, we highly recommend visiting the beautiful Kimono Forest (always open) nearby. It’s a stunning sight and a great way to set the mood for our tour.

Itinerary

  • Saga-Arashiyama Station

    15 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    We'll meet up at Saga-Arashiyama Station, right outside the ticket gates. You won't have to go down any stairs to find us. From there, we'll swing by a convenience store to grab some drinks. Then we'll take a walk towards the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. But keep in mind, the bamboo forest will be pitch dark at this time of night, making for a unique and scary experience.
  • Arashiyama Bamboo Forest

    45 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    We are embarking on an adventure to the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest at nightfall. As the veil of darkness unfurls over the forest, the area will be enveloped in an intense pitch-black, transforming it into an enigmatic world of towering, whispering bamboo stalks. Brace yourself for an exhilarating experience, as the eeriness of the darkness could send delightful shivers down your spine.
  • Saga-Arashiyama Station(Pass by)

    Admission Ticket Free
    As our journey reaches its finale, we'll make our way back to the Saga-Arashiyama Station. Enriched by the memorable sights and experiences, we will end our tour under the soft glow of the station lights. It's a time to reflect on our nocturnal adventure through the bamboo groves, across the Moon Crossing Bridge, and amidst the illuminated Kimono Forest. Thank you for joining me on this unique journey through the breathtaking beauty of Arashiyama at night.
