Brilliant as usual ♥️
Definitely took a lot of notes! Thank you for sharing! ❤
Glad it was helpful!
It's was my dream to walk the philosopher's path and that day I also visited many temples along the way , the autumn leaves were such a highlight some were a bright red in the area next to the Silver Pavilion and there was a graveyard area and ponds along the way covered in moss I'll never forget it and going further afield I would definitely do Mt. Hiei again but that is a full day
The walk is so understated, I love that area too
Love your vids and they are really helping me plan out my dream vacation to Japan in September...but I'd love to see more videos on what you like to do, more off the beaten path vs where everyone says to go.
Keep up the great work!
Great! I’ll be travelling very much off the beaten path and sharing this with you on here and on @happygaijin
I was in Kyoto in April this year, you are 100% correct about this! I did find that bar hopping via a guide (Get your guide) added a lot more to my trip. Finding "hole in the wall bars" was amazing!
If you can get a local guide for the local things like bars, restaurants etc it will certainly bring value to your trip
Great suggestions Nathan! 👍
Glad you think so!
Interesting video Ninja - well done.
Glad you enjoyed it and hope it gave you ideas to visit Kyoto!
yes - very good thank you@@NinjaMonkeyguy
Was just in Kyoto a few days ago. All of your tips are spot on.
Glad they are!
Some great info
Nice list! good to know! Next is the food list! :P
Food list would be good I guess hehe
Good job, dude!
Thanks!!
Thank you, great info and advice. I have done a day trip when I visited before and yes, I felt like we had to cram everything we wanted to see into a very short time.
A day trip must have been very crammed and quick, what did you see?
@@NinjaMonkeyguy We did go to Kiyomizu Dera and walked Ninenzaka/Sannenzaka and saw Geisha walking there. We also saw a few temples/shrines, but not Fushimi Inari shrine. Looking forward to seeing Kikakuji and Nishiki market.
@@bonwatcher The great thing is you can now use up your time next time better!
Yasaka shrine in Gion area was a very nice surprise. 2nd visit to Gion area and the atmosphere was great. the food stalls were nice to look around and buy a few items for an empty stomach. the bamboo forest was a great site, not as big as i expected but very awing to see the height of the trees. interesting areas nearby also. i saw many of the often visited places in Kyoto and some just wandering around. bit done with kyoto for the time being until i can find newer areas to visit. planning to visit another city in lieu of Kyoto next time.
I never get tired of Kyoto, but yes there is so much to see too!
Done ‘m all, except the castle (only walked by it). My fav moments in Kyoto were dining riverside in Pontocho and the scenic boat ride down the Hozugawa river towards Arashiyama.
I’ve been wanting to do the river boat ride so I’ll need to do that :)
hmmm , ... I would add the train museum. It's incredibly large, interesting and fun. And few to zero foreign tourists. Also fun and interesting is hiking up to Doshisha cemetery.
Thanks for the recommendation
Hi Nathan, would you visit those areas in that order??
I have 3 days in Kyoto but there are so many areas I want to visit and I'm getting confused about which to see first.
THANK YOU!
Well.. you can if you want to, I don think i specifically did it in any order, however, prob this is the kind of itinerary I would split into multiple days!
A great list. Although I consider Kyoto one of my favourite cities in Japan, I've made the mistake of only doing day trips. One really needs a three day stay minimum to do it properly. I've done about ten percent of these, and usually tried to do to much and had to cut things due to lack of time. Fushimi Inari is quite a hike up. You are climbing a small mountain after all, be award of that fact.
I think a lot of people underestimate Kyoto, even this list is only scratching the surface of what there is to do and see. And yes Inari can be quite the hike!!
Pontocho and Kawaramachi are always at the top of my list. I know it’s not touristy, but it’s the heart of Kyoto.
I’m hoping to expand these lists with more places
If you like Kawaramachi and speak Japanese you may enjoy the kanji museum and watching kabuki at Minamiza.
hmmm,.... actually,... if you visit Rokkaku-Do (errr ... the temple's real name is Chōhō-ji), there is a large stone with an hexangular hole carved into it. This represents the geographical center of Kyoto.
Just a heads up for Fushimi Inari, it is a big walk up the mountain if you want to go to the top. On the last stretch of stairs I had to step over to the side a few times to catch my breath lol
Yes it is! Hehehe let’s not put people off haha 😂 it’s all part of the adventure :)
@@NinjaMonkeyguy oh yeah I still think it is well worth doing! They also have vending machines on the way up if you get thirsty.
Hello nathan :) i think i asked this before but i can not find the question. So i will just ask again :) do i need to declare tablet and powerbank for personal use?
What do you mean? .. if you are entering the country I’ve never had to .. if you are purchasing in japan at the tax free counter they will tell you
@@NinjaMonkeyguy sorry. I think i explained it wrong. If i have tablet and powerbank in my bag. Do i need to declare it. I watch movies on my flight so i will be travelling with my tablet and powerbank. I ask because i know japan is very strict :)
Kyoto looks so beautiful.How long is the normal train journey from Tokyo,or is it worth using the shinkanzen? The geisha,s looked to graceful,almost looked like they were floating.
Shinkansen is around 2h40 7 to 8 hours to travel by local train from Kyoto to Tokyo!!!
@@NinjaMonkeyguy wow such a difference! Thank you for info
I have a question? Because the cost of the JR pass is a bit high and we are 3 people traveling. Though we are going before the rates go up. My question is is it worth getting the JR pass if we are only traveling from Tokyo to Kyoto round trip. We are staying in Kyoto for 2 nights. What would you suggest?
I’m not too sure about the specific costa of individual trips but you can use a jr pass calculator to figure that out. I expect it to not be worth it for just one return trip. Unless you’re planning on adding some further trips during the time
People always complain about the crowds in Kyoto, but the only place it really bothers me is Kinkakuji... Just too small an area for that many people
Yes! And each time it gets worse I think
Actually ... never a top ten ... hiking to Doshisha Cemetery .... definitely NOT for foreign or even Japanese tourists ...
Thanks for the tip! This one is lit the list of most popular, I’m looking forward to exploring further in other future videos :)
@@NinjaMonkeyguy If you speak Japanese there's also the Kanji Museum in Gion (just down the street from Yasaka Shrine). They give you lots of free stuff on the second floor (^_^)
@towada1066 ooh good to know!
@@NinjaMonkeyguy If you visit Kawaramachi there is also Minimiza, the premier kabuki theater in Kyoto. It's really old and nice inside.
@@NinjaMonkeyguy sorry for more comments ... the people in Kawaramachi take care of stray cats ... they cut a notch in their ear to show that the neighborhood takes care of them ... I don't normally like Kyoto people but think this is so nice ...
