Kyoto has mysterious energy at nighttime. The night skyline view from Kyoto Station, the lantern-lit streets of Gion, and the delicious foods at the late-night restaurants of Pontocho all make Kyoto a must-see location at night!

Kyoto is kept alive at night with some of Japan’s leading nightclubs and nighttime illuminations! This article will show you how and where to find them all! Everything from night views to food will be covered.

Simple returning to your hotel at the end of the day can be a bit of a drag, so don’t miss out on Kyoto’s unique nighttime features!

The 3 spots to enjoy Kyoto at Night

Kyoto does not just stop once all the lights go out. In fact, Kyoto has some amazing, unique nightspots that most tourists do not know about. The great thing about both of the sights below is that they are completely free to witness!

Watching the Sunset from Kodai-ji

Kodai-ji is a beautiful temple in its own right, but what is really special is the view from the temple’s car park. At just the right time, you will be able to see the jaw-droppingly beautiful sunset fall over Kyoto. Once more, the sunset falls behind Yasaka Pagoda, making for one of the best photo spots in all of Kyoto! The beautiful lights and tones also give a very peaceful atmosphere to the great Buddha statue next to the temple grounds. Japan may be known as “the land of the rising sun”, but this is one sight you absolutely do not want to miss!

Kyoto Station

Kyoto Station is so much more than a place for transport. Right in front of the station is the famous Kyoto Tower: a tall spire that stands out among the temples and shrines. At night, Kyoto Tower lights up against the night sky in an array of colors from the standard white to blue or red. It is quite the sight to behold, and something a little different from the usual Kyoto tourist spots. If you venture on into the station itself and make your way up the big illuminated stairs, you can catch an amazing night view of the city. If you time it right, you may be able to catch the sunset alongside Kyoto Tower with a great view of the city as a whole.

The 5 spots enjoy Walking Around and Enjoying Moonlit Kyoto to the Fullest

Walking around Kyoto at night can allow one to experience so much that cannot be done during the day.

Kamogawa

The Kamogawa River runs right through Kyoto, and its banks are thriving with entertainment and activity. When it comes to chilling out and relaxing, there is no better place in all of Kyoto. After an evening of drinking, I suggest you unwind on the banks along with some friends and snacks and enjoy the sights and sounds of those who are singing and playing. The lights and sounds are also the perfect atmospheres for those on a date! In winter it can be too cold unless you wear many layers, but during the spring and summer months, it is great!

Access: Exit 3 or 4 of Gion-Shijo Station and descend to the riverbank by the Shijo Bridge.

Miyagawacho

Miyagawacho, meaning “Shrine River” is one of the major Geisha districts in Kyoto. Located on the banks of the Kamogawa River, this entertainment area is almost as big as Gion. If you are lucky, you may spot a Geisha or Maiko wandering around the quaint streets. At night, the lanterns that line the streets are amazing and make for some beautiful photographs. 

Address: Miyakawa-cho Dori, 605-0801, 4-chōme Miyagawasuji, Higashiyama-ku, Kyōto-shi, Kyōto-fu 605-0801

Access: A 5-minute walk from Gion Shijo Station.

Pontocho

Pontocho is a charming, traditionally placed with beautiful machiya, or wooden townhouses, lining the streets. It is also an area that boasts some of the most luxurious and best restaurants in all of Kyoto. At night, the streets transform into a serene environment: lanterns that hug the edges of the winding streets light up. It is certainly a pleasant surprise for those exiting a restaurant after an evening meal. I strongly suggest you dine in Pontocho at least once during your stay in the city to truly feel the culture and tradition of this historical place.

Address:〒604-8016 Kyōto-fu, Kyōto-shi, Nakagyō-ku, Nabeyachō, Shimokorikimachi196−1

Access: A 5-minute walk from Gion Shijo Station.

Gion

Gion’s bustling streets are crowded with tourists during the day, but all that changes at night. The streets contain some of Japan’s most famous restaurants, and there are many establishments that offer visitors the once-in-a-lifetime chance to experience a pleasant moment with some Maiko and Geisha. In fact, this area is the number one place where you can witness them, and they are often moving around at night. One of the best shrines in Kyoto, Yasaka Shrine, is located on the outskirts of Gion. If you go there at night, it will be free of the huge tourist crowds, and the hundreds of lanterns will be lit up!

Address: Higashiyama-ku, Kyōto-shi, Kyōto-fu

Access: A 5-minute walk from Gion Shijo Station.

Nishiki Market

Nishiki Market is a great place for those who wish to see, smell and taste many different kinds of Japanese and Kyoto delicacies. The narrow alleyway has over 100 food stalls all selling everything from tiny octopuses on a stick to traditional Japanese confectionary. It is very interesting to feel the energy and business of the market while you walk around and eat in the evening. Many stalls have free samples available to try if you are not sure about some food, so go down and explore!

Address:Nakauoyacho, Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto, 604-8045

Access: A 5-minute walk from Kawaramachi Station

The Kyoto Tower Sky Lounge is a great place for drinks. It offers an impressive view of Kyoto, which is completely lit up at nighttime. The bar windows themselves are bathed in a lovely blue light that gives the perfect atmosphere to the bar. The Lounge has everything from beer to margaritas, so it is perfect for those who wish to try many kinds of drinks. I recommend the Kyoto Tower Sky Lounge for a date with your significant other. Don’t forget to go up to the observatory at the top of Kyoto Tower and take some great pictures.

In the moon is an open-top roof bar located in central Kyoto just next to Gion Shijo Station. It offers some impressive views of downtown Kyoto and the nearby Kamogawa River. I recommend you go there during the spring or summer months, as the winter nights may be a little chilly. The lighting from the streets below is very beautiful, so don’t forget your cameras!

The Finlandia Bar is, as the name implies, a Finland-inspired bar located very close to Gion Shijo Station in downtown Kyoto. The outside of the building is designed to look like a traditional Japanese building, but inside there is an impressively modern wooden bar before a wall of alcohol bottles. The mood of this place is that of a very high-class bar and is a bit more unique than you typical Kyoto bars. It is a nice place to relax after your evening meal.

The Top 9 Sightseeing spots to Visit at Night

Kyoto has so many great places that light up at night. Don’t miss out!

Yasaka Shrine

The Yasaka Shrine in Gion is a beautiful place to visit at night. The shrine grounds are dotted with traditional Japanese lanterns that light up stunningly at night. The gate and pathway through the shrine light up, and if you follow the lights inside, you will be greeted with a beautiful spectacle. The middle of the shrine will be bathed in gold as the lanterns on the large shrine building in the middle all light up at once. This particular place is open 24/7, so the later you come, the less people there will be. This 1,400-year-old shrine is one of the best in Kyoto, and if you come to Kyoto in the early summer, you may be able to witness the Gion Matsuri there.

Address: 625 Gionmachi Kitagawa, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto, 605-0073

Access: A 10-minute walk from Gion Shijo Station

Fushimi Inari Shrine

This 1,300-year-old shrine is one of the most famous in the entire world. It is the shrine with the 10,000 shrine gates, or torii, which will grant you wishes if you walk through them. It is truly one of the most beautiful sights in all of Japan and, whether you visit at night or during the day, is a must-see location. At night, however, the pathways leading up to the shrines found higher up in the mountain are lit up by traditional lanterns. It can get really spooky and cool the further up you go, and few tourists go up at night, leading to some great photo opportunities. It is open 24/7 and is completely free to enter the shrine grounds. You should definitely visit Fushimi Inari at night if you are coming to Kyoto in July because the shrine entrance and gate is lit up during this time. The festivals in Kyoto around this time mean that, from 18:00, the many lanterns dotting the entrance all light up, giving a truly breath-taking sight!

Address: 68 Fukakusa Yabunouchicho, Fushimi Ward, Kyoto, 612-0882
Closest Station: Fushimi Station

Eikan-do Zenrin-ji

This is a large Buddhist temple in Kyoto that has an impressive temple garden and pond. The best time to visit this temple is during the fall season, as the trees lining the pond all turn a bright red color. At night, their impressive sights become even more beautiful as the whole garden is lit up. This causes an amazing reflection to be cask upon the pond and allows for some really good photographs to be taken. In the middle of the pond is a lovely traditional bridge, so I recommend you get a nice picture of that to truly capture the feeling of Kyoto. Don’t forget to get a picture of the pagoda high above the trees on the slope too!

Address: 48 Eikando-Cho, Sakyo-Ward, Kyoto
Nearest Station: A 15-minute walk from Keage station (Tozai line)
Hours: 09:00 to 17:00
Light-Up: 3 November to 2 December 2018 (17:30 to 20:30)
Fee: 600 yen

Kodaiji

Kodaiji is located in Higashiyama District very close to Ninenzaka and Kiyomizu Temple. The temple is well-known for its large rock garden and pond. Like Eikan-do Zenrin-ji, the pond is lined with trees that turn red in the fall. These along with the rock garden are spectacularly lit up at night in a variety of colors. The reds, oranges, and browns of fall are beautifully reflected at night and are a great photo opportunity. Once, more, if you wait in the car park in from of the temple, you will be greeted with one of the most amazing sights in Kyoto: the sunset falling over Higashiyama. A sunset photo with Yasaka Pagoda will capture a great memory for you. Don’t forget to check out the big Buddha statue too!

Address: 526 Shimokawaracho, Higashiyama-ward, Kyoto
Nearest Station: A 10-minute walk from Gion Shijo Station (Keihan line)
Hours: 09:00 to 17:30

Shoren-in

Shoren-in is a 13th Century Buddhist temple in the Higashiyama District of Kyoto, Japan. A rather hidden temple, this temple has a very special type of illumination at night that is not found anywhere else: 1,000 tiny blue lights that bring about a very mystic and calming atmosphere to the temple grounds. Not only that, but much of the trees and bamboo are lit up too! I recommend you check out Yasaka Shrine nearby too.

Nearest Station: 5 mins walk from Higashiyama station (Tozai line)
Hours: 09:00 to 17:00

Fee: 800 yen

Kiyomizu Temple

Kiyomizu Temple in the Higashiyama District of Kyoto is one of the best light-up locations in Kyoto. This UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts a huge gate and temple that overlooks a garden below. It can get quite crowded during the busy months, but it is a great place to go any time of the year. I suggest you go in fall to catch the red leaves lit up in the temple gardens. It also offers an impressive view of the Kyoto nightscape, including the distant Kyoto Tower. Make sure to check out the night streets of Ninenzaka and Sanzenzaka too!

Address: 1-294 Kiyomizu, Higashiyama-ward, Kyoto
Nearest Station: A 25-minute walk from Kiyomizu Gojo station (Keihan line)
Hours: 09:00 to 17:00

Fee: 400 yen

Kifune Shrine

Kifune Shrine is a little off the beaten track but is one of the most beautiful and hidden shrines in all of Kyoto. Its crowning jewel is the breath-taking stairway that is lined with traditional Japanese lanterns that climb up to a shrine gate at the top. I recommend visiting in the fall season (for the same reasons as stated above) or during the winter, as lots of snow can build up during this time. At night, the lanterns light up, making the scene one of the most picturesque in all of Kyoto. A must-see place to visit!

Address: 180 Kuramakibunecho, Sakyo Ward, Kyoto Prefecture
Nearest Station:  A 25-minute walk from Kibuneguchi station or take a bus №33 to Kifune
Hours: 06:00 to 20:00 (till 18:00 from December to April)

Kyoto Hanatoro

To bring alive the culture and history of Kyoto at night, many streets and places around the city are lit up with small lamps that line the streets and alleyways. The warm street lamps and flowers fill the areas they inhabit with a sense of serenity and wonder. I recommend you check out Arashiyama at night to truly feel this amazing atmosphere. If you come in mid-March, I suggest you check out the Higashiyama Hanatoro too!

Kimono Forest

🏮 Kyoto 🏮 . Herzlich willkommen in Kyoto, der zweiten großen Stadt auf unserer Japan-Rundreise 😊 . Für viele das kulturelle und kulinarische Zentrum Japans – immerhin war die Stadt ca 500 Jahre Sitz des Kaisers und damit auch die Hauptstadt. Heutzutage hat Japan keine amtliche Hauptstadt, deswegen behaupten angeblich einige Kyoter, der Kaiser wäre nur im Urlaub – seit über 150 Jahren 😅😅😅 . Da ich bei all den Sehenswürdigkeiten nicht wusste, wo ich anfangen soll, zeige ich Euch meine größte Überraschung und einen meiner Lieblingsplätze der Stadt, den Kimono-Wald. Das ist ein Meer aus LED-Säulen mit traditionellen japanischen Mustern darauf und befindet sich in und um die Straßenbahn-Station Arashiyama. Ein absoluter Zufallsfund, nachdem wir vom eher enttäuschenden und hochgelobten Bambuswald mit der nächsten Bahn zurück in die Stadt wollten. . Wenn Ihr die Gelegenheit habt, kommt vorbei. Besonders abends lohnt sich ein kurzer Besuch. Wir fanden es traumhaft 🤗 . Und statt Fotos vom langweiligen Mini-Bambuswald zeige ich Euch lieber Bilder vom Tempel nebenan. Der war mit seinen Laternen auch ganz schön anzusehen 😊 . Was war denn Euer bester Zufallsfund bisher? 😊 . 🏮✨🏮✨🏮✨🏮✨🏮✨ . Welcome to Kyoto! This is the second stop on our journey through Japan 😊 . For many the cultural and cullinary centre of Japan – after all, Kyoto was the seat of the emperor for 500 years and thus automatically the capital. Japan doesn’t have an official capital, so allegedly some people in Kyoto still claim that the emperor wouldonly be on summer vacation – for the last 170 years…😅😅 . Since I don’t know where to start with all the sights I’ll show you one of my favourite serendipities first – Kimono forest. A sea of LED collumns with traditional Japanese style patterns in and around Arashiyama train station. 😊 . . . #moin #kyoto #japan #東京 #kyotojapan #kyototravel #kimonoforest #shrine #kansai #kansairegion #trainstation #nippon #nihon #trainlover #southeastasiatrip #summerholiday #citywalk #instacity #südostasien #southeastasia #summervacation #sommerurlaub #traveljapan #visitjapan #traveladdict #浅草寺 #naturephotography #traveldiary #instaarchitecture

The Kimono Forest in Arashiyama is the perfect photo spot if you yourself are wearing a kimono or yukata. This spot is an area with large pillars that are decorated with kimono designs and colors. It is called a forest because all the pillars are clustered together like trees. In the evening the pillars light up and become even more beautiful in the nighttime. It is located at the Randen tram station in Arashiyama.

A night tour can be a great addition to your Kyoto trip.
