Overview

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.
