NOT THE TYPICAL GHOST TOUR
After visiting Fushimi Inari and wandering through Gion, most travelers think they’ve seen Kyoto. But when night falls, the city feels different.
This Kyoto Ghost Tour takes you into the Bamboo Forest after dark for an immersive experience filled with real folklore, chilling legends, and darker historical tales rooted in the area. As the crowds disappear and the paths grow quiet, the atmosphere shifts.
You’ll walk through shadowed bamboo corridors, hear carefully researched ghost stories connected to Kyoto’s past, and experience moments designed to make you question what’s real in the dark. At one point, guests take part in a brief solo walk through the forest — a rare opportunity to feel the setting in complete stillness.
This small-group night tour blends storytelling, local history, suspense, and subtle surprises into an unforgettable evening. Perfect for travelers looking to go beyond the typical Fushimi Inari visit and experience Kyoto in a completely different way.

Fantastic and special activity, a very different way to explore Kyoto. :)
C’était super
Der Tourführer hatte jede Menge Geschichten bereit. Was in der Beschreibung nicht steht: man läuft auf normalen Wegen. Also keine besondere Kleidung/Schuhe erforderlich. Wir waren eine Familie mit 4 Personen. Von 17 bis 61. allen hat die Tour gefallen. Allen haben die Geschichten gefallen. Die Tour ist zu empfehlen.
Mega fed gysertur! Kalle er en fantastisk guide, som er god til at fortælle historier og man går rundt med en følelse af kuldegysninger hele turen rundt! En klar anbefaling hvis man kan lide at blive skræmt en smule 👻 eller bare vil opleve bambus skoven på en anden måde end man ville gøre, hvis man tog derud alene. 6/5 stjerner her fra 😝🤩✨🌟
A really fun experience. I loved hearing the stories and walking in the bamboo forest at night.
Very cool and informative!
Had a great tour with our guide Kalle
Very cool trip in the dark around the town. Aron told us many lokal ghost stories and then send us to walk through the dark bamboo forest all alone. Scary! Who felt too scared could walk by two. Really cool!
Amazing ! If you’re into something different and enjoy being creepy weird superstitious things don’t miss this such an amazing activity and so well worth the cheap price ! Our guide was Aaron a lovely warm and friendly local man who made the experience fun upbeat and enjoyable, but also was very knowledgable about Japanese urban legends, true story’s and superstitions. 10/10 experience. Also for those who are superstitious some weird things were happening if you keep your eyes and mind open. M
