Kyoto Ghost Tour - Dark Tales, Fun, Urban Legends & Bamboo Forest at Night
Embark on a unique night-time adventure in Arashiyama. Starting at Saga-Arashiyama Station, we delve into the inky depths of the Bamboo Forest, experiencing its haunting beauty under the moonlight. We then wander through the illuminated Kimono Forest, a blaze of radiant colors against the dark. Crossing the Moonlit Togetsukyo Bridge offers breathtaking views of the Katsura River below. Our thrilling exploration concludes at Saga-Arashiyama Station. Join us for a spine-tingling encounter with the darker side of Arashiyama.
What you'll see & do
- ✓We'll meet up at Saga-Arashiyama Station at 7:30 PM, 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.
- ✓We are embarking on an adventure to the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest at nightfall. As the veil of darkness unfurls over the forest, the area will be enveloped in an intense pitch-black, transforming it into an enigmatic world of towering, whispering bamboo stalks. Brace yourself for an exhilarating experience, as the eeriness of the darkness could send delightful shivers down your spine.
- ✓Enjoy the night view on the moon crossing bridge. Prepare to be enchanted by the captivating night view from the Togetsukyo Bridge, fondly referred to as the Moon Crossing Bridge. As the darkness blankets the Arashiyama area, the ethereal glow of the moon and the shimmering reflections on the Hozu River below create a mesmerizing spectacle. It's a tranquil scene that blends the celestial beauty above with the earthly serenity below, providing a perfect ending to our nighttime exploration.
- ✓As part of our nighttime journey, we'll also traverse the enchanting path of the Kimono Forest. As dusk falls, the path becomes a spectacle of color and light. Each of the hundreds of cylindrical pillars, wrapped in vivid Kimono fabrics, glow from within, creating a beautiful and mesmerizing scene. The vibrant patterns and colors of the illuminated Kimono textiles against the night sky offer an unforgettable display of beauty and traditional Japanese culture.
- ✓As our journey reaches its finale, we'll make our way back to the Saga-Arashiyama Station. Enriched by the memorable sights and experiences, we will end our tour under the soft glow of the station lights. It's a time to reflect on our nocturnal adventure through the bamboo groves, across the Moon Crossing Bridge, and amidst the illuminated Kimono Forest. Thank you for joining me on this unique journey through the breathtaking beauty of Arashiyama at night.
