Overview
  • NOT THE TYPICAL GHOST TOUR!
  • This is a unique experience unlike ghost tours in other countries. We’ll meet, grab a drink, and then dive into Kyoto’s dark history. As we walk, you’ll hear unsettling urban legends, stories of tragic events, and chilling tales of real-life figures—including serial killers—all connected to the area. This tour does not focus on yōkai or traditional ghost stories.
  • Expect to walk extensively through atmospheric spots, listening to spine-tingling stories that bring the area’s hidden past to life. In certain parts, you’ll be asked to walk alone in the dark—be prepared, as this isn’t a joke but an immersive part of the experience.
  • We’re looking forward to seeing you for the Ghost Tour! 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.
What to expect

We'll meet up at Saga-Arashiyama Station, right outside the ticket gates. You won't have to go down any stairs to find us. From there, we'll swing by a convenience store to grab some drinks. Then we'll take a walk towards the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. But keep in mind, the bamboo forest will be pitch dark at this time of night, making for a unique and scary experience.
