About us
We are a passionate team of Kyoto locals who believe the best way to experience a city is through its stories and its people. Since 2015, we've dedicated ourselves to showing you the Kyoto we know and love—from its sacred ancient history to its vibrant modern nightlife.
By Day: Discover the Real Kyoto ☀️
Our original free walking tours are your key to unlocking the city's secrets. We'll take you beyond the guidebooks and deep into the world of geishas, ancient temples, and rich local traditions.
These tours are tip-based. This means you are free to decide what the tour was worth to you. If you love the experience, you can support your local guide with a tip that reflects your satisfaction. It's the most authentic, pressure-free way to connect with the ancient capital.
By Night: Unleash Kyoto's Nightlife 🔥
When the sun goes down, we show you a completely different side of Kyoto. Our pub crawls are your all-access pass to the city's best local bars and clubs.
This isn't just about drinking; it's about making new friends from around the world and experiencing the electric energy of Kyoto after dark. We'll guide you from hidden gems to the hottest spots for a legendary night out.
Whether you join us by day or by night, our mission is the same:
to help you create unforgettable memories and feel a true connection to our incredible city.
