Hands Down! The Best Kyoto Night Experience - Aron was such a good guide and storyteller through the whole experience, go in with an open-mind and listen carefully to the stories you hear. My advice, look forward and don’t look back when you enter the bamboo forest! Overall, it’s a very scary and spine tingling experience, mixed in with beautiful experiences in Kyoto.

Spooky and Fun - We walked around a bamboo forest at night, and saw a bunch of different landmarks with different tragic stories by them. The atmosphere was creepy, and really kept people on edge. I enjoyed it a lot!

Spooky! - This a was a fun ghost tour! I have to admit, it was a bit spookier than I expected - and I’ve taken a lot of ghost tours. Aaron was a great guide! He was kind and had a good sense of humor as well. My two young adult sons and husband enjoyed the tour too!! Definitely a different way to experience the bamboo forest!
