[Kyoto] Kyoto Japanese Snack Bar, Karaoke & Shamisen night

Discover Kyoto's nightlife at a Japanese snack bar, where locals enjoy drinks, karaoke, and conversation with the Mama. Walk through Pontocho, a Kyoto geisha district, then visit a bar with retro-feeling decor. Snack bars grew popular in the 1960s. In the 1970s, karaoke spread in these bars, before private karaoke rooms became common. Today, many are disappearing. Unlike private karaoke rooms, guests sing together. Choose English hits or anime songs. Enjoy live shamisen and folk songs by the Mama, a shamisen teacher. Try playing this traditional three-stringed instrument and join party games. Unlimited selected drinks and light snacks included. Duration: 120 minutes. No geiko or maiko participate. Smoking allowed. One beer included per person; extra beer costs more.
