• Saga-Arashiyama Station - The meeting point is at Saga-Arashiyama Station, just outside the ticket gates. No stairs are required to reach us. We’ll stop by a convenience store to pick up some drinks before heading towards the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. Please note, the bamboo forest will be completely dark at this time, offering a unique and thrilling experience.
• Arashiyama Bamboo Grove - We are setting off on an adventure to the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest as night falls. As darkness descends, the forest will be shrouded in deep blackness, creating a mysterious world of towering, whispering bamboo stalks. Prepare for an exciting experience, as the eerie darkness may send delightful chills down your spine.
• Saga-Arashiyama Station - As our journey concludes, we will return to Saga-Arashiyama Station. Filled with unforgettable sights and experiences, we will end our tour under the gentle glow of the station lights. It’s a moment to reflect on our nighttime adventure through the bamboo groves, across the Moon Crossing Bridge, and among the illuminated Kimono Forest. Thank you for joining this unique journey through the stunning beauty of Arashiyama at night.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE GHOST TOUR!

This is a one-of-a-kind experience, distinct from ghost tours in other countries. Participants will meet, enjoy a drink, and then delve into Kyoto’s mysterious history. As the tour progresses, they will hear eerie urban legends, accounts of tragic events, and chilling stories of real-life individuals—including serial killers—all linked to the area. This tour does not emphasize yōkai or traditional ghost tales.

Expect to walk extensively through atmospheric locations, listening to spine-chilling stories that bring the area’s hidden past to life. In certain sections, participants will be asked to walk alone in the dark—be prepared, as this is not a joke but an immersive part of the experience.

We look forward to welcoming you on the Ghost Tour! Please note that most restaurants in the vicinity will be closed, so if you wish to arrive a bit earlier, it is highly recommended to visit the beautiful Kimono Forest (always open) nearby. It’s a breathtaking sight and a perfect way to set the mood for our tour.
