Full description
Experience Kyoto like a local with a guided izakaya food tour that captures the true essence of the city’s nightlife. Join your knowledgeable host for an evening of food, drinks, and authentic cultural exchange as you explore cozy taverns and hidden alleys.
You’ll begin your night in an izakaya — the casual Japanese pubs where locals unwind after work. These intimate venues are perfect for sharing plates of traditional dishes like yakitori, karaage, and sashimi, accompanied by sake or a refreshing beer.
Your host will guide you to some of Kyoto’s most beloved watering holes — from bars near Kyoto Station to tucked-away spots in the historic Gion district. You’ll also visit tachinomiya, Japan’s unique standing bars where conversations flow as freely as the drinks.
This personalized experience is tailored to your interests. Whether you’re curious about Kyoto’s craft sake scene or want to explore nostalgic back-alley yokocho, your host will select the perfect route for a memorable night out.
Note: Since this is a private, customized tour, the actual bars and areas visited may vary based on your preferences and your host’s local insight.
