In the following there is information about two
Tango places (in Kobe and in Kyoto) which I visited
during my stay in Japan in August 2005.
The milongas were small, but very nice, and the level of dancing
was very good.
There is some information on the internet: E.g.,
check the
Tango Locos
Tango calendar for the Kansai region (Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe, etc).
For the places I visited, I have
included all available contact information below.
Have fun!

It is on Ijinkan-dori, one of
the main streets in the Kitano neighbourhood,
just opposite the Choueke house, which is indicated
on most tourist maps of the town. There are some
Tango posters visible, so it is easy to find.

Milonga Fri & Sat 19:30 - 23:00 (2000 Yen)

It's on Koin-dori, which is the street running
northwest from Hankyu Omiya railway station to
JR Nijo station. If you come from Hankyu Omiya
station, it's on the right side at the end of
Koin street, just before the Sanjo shopping arcade.
It's on the first floor above a delivery sushi
service called Gin-no sara. It's easy to find,
since their is a large sign.
Milonga every second Saturday in a month, including
live music by the Astrorico ensemble.
When I was there, the entry fee was 5000 Yen including
free drinks. I've been told that there are weekly classes.
