Not exactly a place to sit and eat a full meal as there were no chairs, so standing room only, but they did have appetizers/ snacks. The bar had games...

👍👍 Amazing attention to detail by the bartender Nori and it's clear he put a lot of care and thought into his drinks. He's friendly and made us feel welcomed right away. Good ambiance and the entrance is a cool photo spot also as it's hidden behind a phone booth. Definitely will come back next time we'...

👍👍 If you enjoy cocktails and spirits, this is an experience like no other and probably one of the nicest memories of our trip to Japan. You enter a small room with 10 seats in front of a counter. There is no menu or price list. You can ask for any drink that comes across your mind. We started with 2-...

👍👍 One of the friendliest and most fun bar owners I met in Japan. I like that he called me out on my boring conversation starter. I asked for his name and he said "why you want my name? Call me John Lennon, what do you like for music?" And then we talked rock music for the next hour. Hard to find but...

Ninja Experience Cafe Kyoto Gion
Cafe
👍👍 We had a lot of fun here. We learned how to throw throwing stars, use blow guns, and some moves with the katana. It's great for young kids and adults alike. The hosts were extremely nice and accommodating. We feel that if we're ever attacked by ninjas we should be ready to fight back successfully.
