Kyoto Ghost Tour: Dark Tales & Bamboo Forest Night
5.0
(597 reviews)
Kyoto Ghost Tour: Dark Tales, Urban Legends, Bamboo Forest Night isn't like other ghost tours. It's a special Kyoto experience that mixes scary stories with a fun night walking around. If people want a haunted house or prison tour, this might not be for them!
The tour starts with a drink and creepy stories from Kyoto's past. Instead of old ghost stories, guests will walk through streets and bamboo forests at night. One part involves walking alone in the dark for a bit, which is safe and adds to the spooky feeling. It starts at Saga-Arashiyama Station, goes through the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest at night, and ends back at Saga-Arashiyama Station.
This experience includes a solo walk in the dark forest, one drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic), and a Japanese curse (lasting only 24 hours!). People might get an unexpected surprise along the way! The tour tells urban legends, real ghost stories, and tales of serial killers. It does not include tips, souvenir ghosts, or exorcisms.
