Sure brings back fond memories of hours I’ve spent at Kyoto station over the years getting off and waiting for trains, I’ve eaten more than my fair share of Mister Donut donuts and Katsukura Tonkatsu dinners at the station. Thanks for the video John!
My first two trips to Japan, I stayed in Kyoto. This video make me sad, because I wanna be there, walking around, eating, people watching. It so much fun. Gina stay in Osaka in 2025!!
I am in Kyoto now. I spent about 5 months here this year. Nice city, so much to see. You could spend a lifetime exploring some of the small neighborhoods and alleys.
enjoyed the little tour of kyoto station john. i've never been to kyoto (yet) but i've heard it's very big and you can easily spend a few hours in there. definitely seems like it
The main concourse between the west and east sides have some good ekiben to in specialist stores. The stairs/ escalators that go to the rooftop had a massive light show on the steps in the evening in April.
I always stay on the Hachijo side of Kyoto Station as it's quieter. And I've also always found the queues for the buses to be quieter on the Hachijo side, too.
My wife and I have been to Japan twice this year, both times using the 14-days JR pass which we definitely got our money's worth by going from Sapporo > Kanazawa > Kumamoto > Ureshino and more! (And we can spend 3 hours just in Kyoto Station.)
What surprised me the most about the Shinkansen was that the back looks like the front! I just assumed they turned around at the end of the track somewhere not that they just flipped it in reverse and backtracked to Tokyo 😵
Sad so many tourists I hate it for locals not very easy for them I walked everywhere last visit as buses to crowded need to put separate buses for locals
I hate people wearing cologne (when travelling) so bad, my last flight in calgary, I was sitting next to this fully-tailored suit mafia looking guy reeking perfume, I couldn't breathe the whole ride. 2hours felt like 7days... and they had no mask for me -_-
It should be banned like second hand smoking. It’s worse than BO. Someone should tell them but I think their sense of smell is dull from their own scent, they don’t know what flowers or fresh air smells like.

We just returned from Kyoto Osaka and Tokyo on Monday after 10 days and it was amazingly awesome great to be back. Can’t wait to go back next year

Perhaps touristy but Kyoto continues to be a very beautiful and interesting city to visit!
Alwaays Great to you you taking the Shinkanzsen . Looking forward to Video's of this trip.

kyoto station is so cool, shin osaka station was recently remodeled and is amazing too

Love dropping by Kyoto. Only need 2-3 days for Kyoto or Osaka really

I missed this completely but as always its great to see Shinkansen’s 😎Thank you John🙂👍!!!
You’re welcome ٩(^‿^)۶
We arrived in Kyoto 4 days later. On the same Tokaido Shinkansen, but on a Kodama train. This stream only a few days in between tales me back.
Seriously!! You couldn't do this at the start of last week! Would have loved to have met you and I was in Kyoto!
I think id be so overwhelmed in this station. So many things to see! Any tips on navigating my way around?
It’s much better than the big Tokyo Stations 😉 so if you can master this one, you can master anywhere except Shinjuku!!! 😂
thanks for this
wow we didn't see any of this side at all while we were there.. bummer..
We are at Tokyo Station, about to head on the Hikari to Kyoto! Maybe we'll see you there!!
You’re a couple hours behind me 😂 I’ll be back here tonight so there’s a chance!
@@onlyinjapanGO We'll keep our eyes open!!

Right! Flip it and you can just no back 🚅
Last time I stayed in Kyoto my hotel was just across the road from the palace.
Which hotel is that?
@@heythave Kyoto Garden Palace
Hey John, what did the couple say they were going? The one with the red hair.
Fushimi Inari.
@@cams6586 thank you :)
Wow, a lot of 'gaijin san'!
Sad so many tourists I hate it for locals not very easy for them I walked everywhere last visit as buses to crowded need to put separate buses for locals
It is very easy to get lost at this station
I'm traveling to japan next week, you can be sure I'll be ready to stream snipe you 😂

The more you use the same smell every day, the more you need to smell it by yourself. I think these people don't know how much they reek.
13,320 yen one way from Tokyo to Kyoto 😮
