KYOTO, Japan—Clichés exist because they contain truth. And while it is cliché to call Japan a land of contrasts, that doesn’t make it any less true.
The country’s acclaimed quiet and stillness lives alongside a pulsing nightlife, even in tradition-bound ancient Kyoto.
In this gallery, artist Alyssa Morales captures and shares some of what she experienced during her time in Kyoto.
With Japan's appreciation for hard work, many workers and students will look for a place to release some stress, have fun, and socialize. There's a variety of nightlife experiences you can find. From 24-hour arcades to Macho Bars, to club and dance culture, the nightlife atmosphere guarantees a night to unwind and enjoy yourself. Here at Kitsune Kyoto, you are bound to find a space to enjoy. With multiple floors dedicated to their respective music genre such as pop or R&B, the range of options can provide a unique experience, maybe a few, all in the same night!
