What To Expect
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.
At one point, you’ll even walk alone in the dark for a short stretch—an eerie and unforgettable moment designed to let you feel the atmosphere on your own. It’s safe, brief, but adds a delicious sense of dread to your night.
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.
