Overview

This three-hour walking tour takes place in Kyoto’s Pontocho district, known for its nightlife along the Kamogawa River. The group meets at Gion Shijo Station before visiting three local izakayas and bars in the Pontocho or nearby Kiyamachi area. A certified guide from MagicalTrip leads the tour, providing information throughout the evening. Participants visit multiple venues, hopping from one bar to the next. The tour includes 3 to 4 drinks chosen from a selection that features Kyoto-produced sake served at a standing bar. Food includes 3 to 4 traditional izakaya dishes such as yakitori and sashimi, with enough to make a full dinner; a vegan menu option is available. Photos are taken during the tour to capture moments along the way. Additional food and drinks can be purchased separately. Some venues may not be accessible by wheelchair or stroller. Guests must be at least 20 years old to join. Allergy-free or special dietary accommodations cannot be fully guaranteed due to the kitchens used by the izakayas, though efforts are made to provide alternatives when possible. The tour may include venues where smoking is allowed and cannot be altered for this reason. During summer, guests are advised to bring water and wear a hat because of heat and humidity. Late arrivals cannot join, receive a refund, or reschedule the tour.
