Hello there
I will be in Kyoto for about 8 nights. How much is there to do in the late evening? I'm considering a ryokan that has an 11 pm curfew and don't want to miss out on anything cultural. I don't mind skipping the bar scene, but I would hate to miss a late no performance or a geisha walk or something of this nature.
Any thoughts?

Hi. I am from Kyoto, and in fact I have never heard of inns with curfew. However, I think you let the hotel staff know about your schedule, the sooner you arrive the hotel the better, then you are fine.
This local gov't website below has a lot of interesting tours you may consider. Call to Kyoto City Tourist Association: Tel: 075-752-0227 if you need help.
Go to Gion district with your camera, possibly for diner. If you are lucky, you run into geisha girls inside /outside of restaurant. This area is quite safe to walk alone even night time. It is about 10 min walk from center of downtown Kyoto.
Cherry trees in Kyoto usually bloom in late March to April. Go to Yasaka shrine, located in the Gion district. You can walk through the shrine to Kiyomizu temple. Beautiful walk way.
During your trip in Japan, don't forget eating good sushi (nigiri), and Japanese marble beef (often called as Kobe, Matsuzaka, or Oomi beef) ! These are DIVINE !

Hey, i also planning to go to Kyoto soon. I will be there on April 1st till 7th April. I've done lots of research.....but couldn't find much to do at night. I also chose to stay in a ryokan, but that one it doesn't have curfew at night!!! it's closed to kyoto station, it cost Yen 33600 for 4 nights (2 persons) with private bath room.
Back to the subject, I don't know if you like playing games, cause i found one thing to do at night, cause it closed only at midnight. It is the Namco Wonder Tower @v@ Full of games, i heard people said, but i dont know if worthy to go, but i'll definately go there. When will u be there by the way?? I also seeking for some spot to hang around at night. If i find more info about that, i tell u. @~#
