Test of courage with local lore - Our guide was very knowledgeable and we had a lot of fun listening to local stories about ghosts and spooky mysteries. They really set the mood for the night. The trek through Arashiyama to the bamboo forest went at a nice pace and the actual walk through the bamboo was a real test of courage eventhough it was a clear night with plenty of moonlight. This was definitely a unique and memorable experience!

Would recommend - Very fun time! The stories were great, and it was scary. You even get a free drink to go enjoy while walking so you can drink with the ghosts! It was also very beautiful

Scary and funny - I would like to recommend this experience for anyone looking for an alternative night in Kyoto and is passionate about scary stories. The guide is fun and immediately puts you at ease. I liked the emphasis on stories that actually happened rather than just having a scary walk. The forest is very suggestive at night and without people, it's worth it just for this.

Good spooky fun. - Tour was alot of fun, with some genuinely spooky moments. Was an interesting and unique way to experience the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest! Part of the tour has you walk alone through the forest, there is an eerie sensation walking alone through the dark bamboo forest listening to the pitter patter of soft rain and the whispers of the wind in the stalks The stories were interesting and more local and personal to the tour guide than I expected which was a nice surprise. It was a cool night with a little drizzle but that only added to the ambiance, one of the other participants scored the tour low because of this, but the weather can't be controlled and the tour guide asked if he'd be ok in the tee shirt and shorts he'd elected to wear. To get the most out of the tour I'd suggest going in with a respectful and open frame of mind, if want to joke and laugh then this isn't the tour for you, that only ruins not only your experience but breaks the spooky vibe for the rest of the group.

The night walk through... - The night walk through the Bamboo forest was very eerie, but very fun! There were spooky stories and interesting folklore about the culture.

Spine-chilling tour through beautiful forest - My friends and I had an amazing time on this tour! The guide, Aron, is very personable and did a great job getting everyone warmed up to each other so we could all enjoy the experience together. He is very knowledgeable about japanese urban legends, telling us several of them at our request while also including some lesser known stories which were all super spooky! Walking through the bamboo forest at night was incredibly atmospheric but also hauntingly beautiful. For people who love spooky ghost stories in the black of night I cannot recommend this tour enough.

Amaaazing !! - Waouuuuuu !!! It was AMAZING !!!!! Thank you very much ! And you can do that activity even if you are afraid but just a little ahah so great and original !

Amazing experience - It was an amazing experience with our guide. Good stories, good atmosphere. If you like walking through a forest in a dark, looking for some ghosts and listening to the local stories this is for you. This is a really good experience if you want to see other thing than shrine at day like everybody We were 3 couples, so it was a good experience with a little group. Prepare to see ghosts.. or not. 😁

Exciting ghost tour - My girlfriend and I had booked the ghost tour and imagined something different - but we were pleasantly surprised! Our guide was really great: he spoke several languages and was relaxed, and he always had great ghost stories to tell! Since we were a small group, we were able to chat to the others and share more stories.

Not as expected, disappointing - The stories weren't well thought out, all over the place. The tour lasted more then 2 hours which would be fine if it was fun and nice weather but it was cold and drizzling so sticking to the 90 minutes would have been nice. The guide didn't do a great job of keeping the group focused, he lost them a few times and it ruined the tour.
