Kyoto · PUB CRAWLS
4 reviewed
The 4 pub crawls below are the ones worth a place on a Kyoto itinerary. Each entry gives the price, the running time and who it is right for, so the choice takes a minute, not an evening.
Walk Kyoto’s Pontocho backstreets with a certified guide, sampling 3 bars, drinks, and dishes. Small group, big local vibe.
“Had a wonderful time with our guide walking along some of the small streets in the Gion area. The bars weren’t touristy, which is a plus in my mind, and there were plenty of options of food and drinks to select from.”
Kyoto’s Pontocho at night: a small-group English bar-hopping tour with 3–4 izakaya stops, dinner-scale food, and drinks.
“The tour was great and Miku, our guide was lovely. She took us to unique spots and had everything reserved/pre-arranged. It was a good way to get to learn the area on our first night in Kyoto and it included a lot of drinks and food, definitely worth the money.”
Kyoto bar hopping with a local guide to taste sushi, tempura, yakitori, gyoza, and more, while learning Japanese food culture. Drinks extra.
“Shiyo was a great guide. She was very eager to share her stories of Kyoto. She took us to great places to try regional specialties and a local cocktail bar. Would definitely book again to try different local spots”
Kyoto private bar hopping at 7:00 pm with a local guide, 3 stops (tachinomi, izakaya, whisky) near transit, mobile ticket, drinks extra.
“We loved exploring the small bars while we would never consider to enter on our own. Our host was very friendly and clearly enjoyed sharing his city with us. For a sense of how locals eat and drink we highly recommend this tour!”
