Pub Crawl Kyoto

Show up alone.
Leave with a crew.

All drinks at bar #1 included to kick things off, then real ice-breaker games so everyone's talking within minutes. From there, your local Kyoto host takes you to the city's most popular bars and a finale club spot — so you can just enjoy the night instead of planning it.

Tonight's flow

The Schedule

Meet outside Voyager Stand Kyoto at your booked start time — it's in your confirmation. The crawl runs at least four hours with bilingual hosts; bar picks shift with the night.

  • 4+ hours

  • Open bar

  • Games & icebreakers

  • Free club entry

  1. Meetup

    Outside Voyager Stand Kyoto

    Find your host out front — wristbands on, quick intros, and we're off. Your start time is in your booking confirmation.

    Be on time — we don't wait for latecomers.
  2. First hour

    All-you-can-drink warm-up

    First stop: a full hour of open bar (all-you-can-drink) at a local spot. Ice-breaker games get everyone talking, so solo travelers are clicking with the group within minutes.

  3. Second hour

    Kyoto's crowd-favorite bar

    Your bilingual hosts lead the group to one of the city's most popular spots — locals and travelers in the same room, busy energy.

  4. Third hour

    Lively international bar

    A packed, high-energy bar where the crawl really opens up — another crowd-pleaser before the club. You're deep into the night and fully in the flow.

  5. Finale – morning

    Club with free entry

    Skip the line at our partner club — entry is included in your ticket. Your pub crawl leader wraps up here after four hours, but you're free to stay and dance as long as you like. Clubs stay open until morning.

FAQ

What’s included in my ticket?

Your ticket covers the open bar at the first stop, ice-breaker games, guided hops through local bars, and free club entry. Drinks at bars 2 and 3 — and at the club — are not included, so budget for those separately.

Can I come alone?

Absolutely — many guests do. The warm-up hour and ice-breaker games are built so solo travelers meet the group fast. Show up ready to mingle.

How long is the pub crawl?

At least four hours with your host — meetup through the club hand-off. Your guide wraps up after that, but club entry is included and you can stay and dance as long as you like.

What time does it start?

Your start time is in your booking confirmation. See Meeting Location for where to be and dont be late.

Do I need cash?

Yes — bring cash for drinks at bars 2 and 3 and any extras at the club. Some spots are cash-only; it’s best not to rely on cards alone.

Do I need ID?

Yes — bring a physical photo ID (passport or residence card). Japan's drinking age is 20+. We check at check-in.

What if I don't drink alcohol?

You're welcome! Non-alcoholic options are available at bars. The social vibe and club entry are still included.

What's the dress code?

Smart casual. No flip-flops at the club. Comfortable shoes for walking between venues.

Where is the meeting point?

Outside Voyager Stand Kyoto, in front of the vending machine — see Meeting Location for photos, map, and late-arrival policy.

What if I’m running late?

We do not wait for latecomers. If you miss the group, you must pay the entrance fee yourself at the first venue. See Meeting Location for the map — and mention “Pub Crawl” at the entrance for our special discount.

Do the venues change each night?

Yes — bars shift depending on the night. We follow the flow of the bar street; your guide knows Kiyamachi well and always aims for spots with the most people and the best vibe.

Can I cancel or change my date?

Depends on where you booked — GetYourGuide and Viator each have their own cancellation policy (typically free up to 24 hours before). Rain or shine — we're indoors at bars and the club.
