3 CRUCIAL TIPS to SURVIVE Kyoto like a PRO!

Yo, if you wanna dodge the crowds, hit up the popular spots in Kyoto at the crack of dawn or in the afternoon when the tour buses bounce. But for a lit experience, go at night! Fushimi Inari hack: skip the small entrance gates, hit up the first opening, do a U-turn, and boom-no crowds and the dopest photos. Rent an electric bike 'cause public transport sucks and gets hella packed. Trust me, it's easy, safe, and mad fun. Bonus tip: Use Skyscanner's multi-city search to fly into Tokyo and out of Osaka-closest airport to Kyoto, saving you that Shinkansen ticket back to Tokyo. Epic travel hacks, fam!

Unfortunately most of Kyoto closes at 5 PM, sometimes even 4 PM. Fushimi Inari is the one thing that is open 24/7 so that's a good one to see at night. Most of the big shrines and temples will close much earlier.

Ooooo I never thought about going at night and bike sounds good. ☺

We also did the turning around at Fushimi Inari... but another really good tip is: go further up the hill nearly noone did it. So that we had a lot of space and really nice foto spots

Public transport is not great? I've been in Kyoto for a few months now and the public transport is very reliable and efficient. Yeah sometimes it's crowded but there's so many bus, subway, and train routes available and they are almost never late. Not that expensive either.

Public transport is not great? LOL. It is very easy to ride a bus and train in Kyoto if you have an internet. Just google and read

[@Olly07]

Something to add, you can still take great photos even if you wake up late.

I was there the day before yesterday, in the afternoon 😵‍💫😂, it was hell, in blazing sunshine ☀️🥵 and completely overcrowded. Had to stop the visit, it was unbearable. The train ride was also bad. The train from Kyoto was standing around in Kyoto at the station for 20 minutes without driving off. So much for the topic, the trains in Japan would always be on time😂
