Kyoto izakaya bar hopping with an English guide. Walk Kawaramachi to Kiyamachi, hit hidden spots, and enjoy sake tastings.
“Taiga is such a fun guide! That was a great night in Kyoto”
Kyoto bar hopping in Pontocho backstreets with a certified guide, 3 hours, 3 to 4 dishes, 3 to 4 drinks, and photos.
“Fun tour and environments. The food was a bit disappointing at the second location (first time they said the tour had stopped there) but the atmosphere and company was great. It was nice to get a grasp of the neighborhood.”
Private Kyoto night walk in Gion and Pontocho, with local stories, two drinks, and lantern-lit shrine stops for culture and bars.
“Wonderful tour with Brenda. She has a deep knowledge of the area, and pointed out and took me to places I never would have found or noticed on my own. We had a wonderful drink and snack at a LOCAL izakawa, that didn't offer any English translations ... absolutely delicious. Highly recommend.”
A 3.5-hour small-group izakaya crawl through Pontocho and Kiyamachi, with pre-set drinks and dinner-size bites at 3-4 bars.
“The tour was great and Miku, our guide was lovely. She took us to unique spots and had everything reserved/pre-arranged. It was a good way to get to learn the area on our first night in Kyoto and it included a lot of drinks and food, definitely worth the money.”
Kyoto KITSUNE nightclub ticket with 2 drinks, two themed floors, top DJs, late-night hours, and strict passport and age checks.
Kyoto WAKUWAKU bar hopping with Takeshi: three local stops in 3 hours, private up to 4, mobile ticket. Food and drinks extra.
“We loved exploring the small bars while we would never consider to enter on our own. Our host was very friendly and clearly enjoyed sharing his city with us. For a sense of how locals eat and drink we highly recommend this tour!”
Kyoto izakaya night tour with Hiro, English guide, guided walk through Gion, and 1 or 2 izakaya tastings with included drinks.
“Tour meraviglioso! Hiro ci ha portato a spasso per le stradine di Kyoto proponendo izakaya non turistiche con piatti eccellenti. Lui vi saprà accogliere come un amico in una serata Nomikai indimenticabile, tra spiedini Kushiyaki e qualche birra di troppo 😄. Non avrete nessun problema con la lingua inglese in quanto il tour operator viene spesso in Europa per lavoro! Inoltre sarà molto presente in fase di prenotazione, ti metterà a tuo agio e non avrai nessun tipo di difficoltà: figuratevi che mi ha contattato tramite whatsapp per conoscerci meglio prima dell’incontro! Regalo di matrimonio riuscitissimo, non potevo fare scelta migliore”
Enter KITSUNE KYOTO with a mobile admission ticket. Two themed floors, top sound and lighting, and a safe, lively dance floor.
“This is a really fun and lively place. I was very surprised at the manners of those on the Dance Floor. Men were in gentleman checking if I was available before attempting to dance with me or get to close or anything and when I'm inforRead more”
