Daikoku (だいこく)

Daikoku is a small gay bar in Kyoto's Kiyamachi area that is described as Asian-themed. It is one of a handful of counter bars that make up the city's small gay scene. It is reported to open from around 19:00 until late, closed Mondays, but its X (Twitter) account is the best place to check current hours. Like most Kyoto gay bars, it is a seated counter run by a host, mostly for regulars. Expect a cover or table charge. Visitors are generally accepted, and a few words of Japanese help. We have very few reviews for it, so treat these details as unconfirmed.
