Kyoto after dark, from Pontocho to the last train

Based in Kyoto (Kiyamachi).

Rens has spent six years working the taps and the door along Kiyamachi and Pontocho, and knows which narrow-alley bars still take walk-in groups after 1am. He builds stag and birthday weekends around the last train out of Kawaramachi and the few clubs, Metro and World among them, that run past it.
