I shouldn't have watched this. Now my heart feels heavy again. I went to Japan 2016 after dreaming long about it. The culture, nature and people always fascinated me. So i was so happy that i finally could see Japan. I went there for round about 3 weeks. 1 week Tokyo, 1 week Hiroshima and 1 week Kyoto. Tokyo was fascinating to see! This really is another dimension of a city. Hiroshima was... beautiful but it made me think a lot. The memorial park, the flame, the buildings... it left something in me i can't really describe. Still it is an amazing city and luckily on the last night there a street festival took place. I saw so many beautiful Yukata! And then there is Kyoto. I saw a lot of the world already for my young age but i left only a few pieces of my heart somewhere. One in Scotland, one in Costa Rica, one in the north of germany (but i have family at the cost there so it actually is very special and may not count in this ranking) and Kyoto. Kyoto got me from the start. As soon as i arrived there i felt this is a special place to be. The mix between old and new, modern and tradition is amazing. The whole city is a beautiful gem! The small streets, the relaxed people, the peace and calm that lingers in the air. Also the river (Kamo) such a beautiful scenery! I went to the bamboo forest ofc and i saw the Golden Pavillion bc i really wanted to see it and it is worth it tbh. Kyoto also was the reason that made me thought i wanna go back to Japan but in autumn! When the marple starts to bleed. Oh gosh it must be so beautiful to see it live! I mean yes Sakura season may be wonderful but i really really wanna see Japan in autumn, when the trees bleed into their leafs. Also i got hungry watching this, this is not fair XD Ah i miss the good food :( I really wanna go back one day! Thank you for sharing this with us! Especially the tour on the river looked amazing.
If you didn't already, I highly recommend touring Kyoto by bicycle next time. Bike rentals are free and it makes the whole thing much better. There's nothing like cycling through the old and narrow feudal streets of Kyoto with the mountains scenery expanding in front of you. Also, have you visited Fushimi Inari shrine? I was kinda skeptical it may be a tourist trap since it's so popular but...it was simply incredible. What an experience! I went at night for the most eerie and spiritual experience of my life.
I feel great longing now especially, in this wretched year that is 2020. I agree with what you wrote about with great longing: my next trip to Kyoto will be in the autumn. I bet it will be so stunning we both just gasp when confronted by that fiery vista, those bright trees being lit up in the sunshine. I really hope you get to see this in 2021. xo :)
I wish you would’ve posted this in September because I went to Kyoto back in October and was incredibly disillusioned when I got there and found that everything was so hard to enjoy due to the crowds and all the additional tourists everywhere. But I’m glad you did upload it even now. Thank you.
I agree! I went there twice and always said I never go back to Kyoto. But you just have to dig way deeper into it. It's always so crowded with tourists you barely see the real Kyoto, so annoying!
Even as someone typically averse to crowds when traveling, I have to say the Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji) is absolutely worth it. Especially on a bright, sunny afternoon, when it gleams in the light.
Not sure if I can concur, when I went in autumn it was so absolutely jam packed. That combined with the fact one cannot actually get inside the pavilion meant it truly felt like one is just being swept past by a wave of humans only to snap a pic and move on. There wasn’t enough time and space to take a moment in appreciating the building. There were busses unloading huge swathes of tourist every half a second, literally!
I LOVED KYOTO! Been there in May, 2019! I got to take a picture of walking Geisha and bought treats at the fish market located at an alley there. I love it all! I also went to Gion Corner and watched a play there!
Just came back from Japan. Kyoto blew my mind! So beautiful! To avoid the crowds i often woke up early, totally worth it. Great video, makes me want to go back to Kyoto again! 🙂
Thank you for the amazing video. I've been needing this kind of video after my long and heartbroken week. I lost my mother last week and have been looking for something to smile at again. This was that video. I love Japan and I love to see new and exciting sites. I will be there in a very short as a release and a calm down. I wish my mother got to see what I've had the privilege to see the many times I've personally been there but sadly it did not happen. Thank you again Angela and miss your videos. You have no idea how much this video means to me now that I got my smile back after this long week.
Andrew Gamez I’m sorry for your lost Andrew. I can’t even imagine how hard it is for you, but please keep your head high and live your life to the fullest - I’m sure your mother would be the happiest if she saw you enjoying life :)
My wife and I did the Miako Performace too. It was one of the top 3 things we did during our whole trip in Japan. I got to do the drinking game, and it was fun. Another thing we really enjoyed was the Tea Ceremony Camellia not far from Kiyomizu-dera temple. It is geared toward foreigners but not in a cheesy way. We got to make our own matcha tea and learn everything that takes place during a traditional tea ceremony.
Arashiyama area is wonderful! To be honest, I have only been in Kyoto once (and going back there in a week), but my best recommendation would be to rent a bike and explore ALL of Kyoto on bike (aside from the day trips), bike rental is super cheap, you can even get hostel/hotel deals on airbnb or other sites that will lend you a bike for free with your stay. Traveling everywhere on bike and finding small places or unvisited shrines/paths makes the experience all the more amazing. Of course, you need to have a bit of energy, so I may not recommend this for the elderly, but Kyoto is all doable on bike and totally worth it if you can do it ( I did a 3 day trip on bike and saw pretty much every main attraction + off the beaten routes).
If your staying near a Keifuku Randen station, take the first Randen in the morning to Arashiyama. There won't be any tourist out that early and it absolutely nice. Find a coffee shop that overlooks the river and have a nice breakfast. If your coming from the bamboo forest, go to the very end turn left into the park and follow the signs up to the overlook and down to the river. If your on the river, follow it up into the park and follow the signs into to the overlook, then come down the opposite side to follow the signs to bamboo forest.
Wonderful to see another of Angela's videos with a perfect example of how more beautiful Japan is without the great many tourists the popular areas and cities attract. Just as the menu could be interpreted as a love letter, so are Angela's videos, as always, many thanks for letting us share the Japan that you see and the new experiences that you discover. Ganbarimashitane!
If you want to avoid the crowd go walk in the mountain, I lived 3 month in Kyoto, and when I wanted to be alone a little I took my bike and went to any mountain around Kyoto, I barely found anyone up here
I used to cycle through the eerily quiet streets going up the mountains and it was amazing. Only from time to time would I see the odd person appearing at the door or in a garden, almost like an apparition, almost like they weren't real. It's like ghost towns
This looks like a lovely side of Kyoto away from the crowds. I was a student near Osaka many years ago and I loved the old town feel of Kyoto. That was in 1995.
I have missed these videos so much. You looked beautiful in the kimono. That boat lunch looked amazing. It is useful for the website to help with different experiences for other people traveling to Japan. I cannot wait to see what you make next. Keep up the amazing work that you do.
Congratulations on your videos. I really like Japanese culture. Your videos are very beautiful and very illustrative. I practice my English and learn with it. Happy 2020!
Same love the new and old together just don't want to see more old disappearing!!!! Nice to see this fresh baked vid Angela!!!! 👍🎅🏻🎅🏻 Game at the end was funny!!! 🙂
I TOTALLY AGREE that when travelling, the most important thing is to avoid CROWD. Dotonbori is the place where the United Nations convene. You can see a lot of China, Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Phillipine, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong there. Other place where people from around the world convened includes USJ, Arashiyama, Kaminarimon, Fushimi Inari Taisha and Harajuku. That's why I planned with intent to avoid the crowd.
I just got back from Japan, it was...breathtaking! although i didn't get the chance to wonder much in Kyoto, during the crowds, yes..and can't figured much about the bus shelter..T__T (i keep get on and off the wrong busses) but it's soooooo so beautiful! and i already missed japan watching at your video..thank you so much! can't wait to be back! Stay healthy Angela!
I love how beautiful and comforting this video is, I wish to visit Japan too someday but not in Tokyo but rather in the countryside which you also suggested in your other contents. It's super fascinating, truly, no cap. 🙏🏻💘
Kyoto is just too beautiful. I just hope the 2020 Olympics won't taint that (and Japan's overall) beauty. Looking at you playing that maiko game I'd say your hand to eye coordination is on point!!! 😉
Spent a month there...mid oct to mid nov. Was very careful to stay away from the big tourist spots as best i could...Kyoto Station, Nijo Castle, Kurama Fire Festival, Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, Ginkakuji, Gion, and Kinkakuji were all nightmares. I did go to Kinkakuji when it was raining....got some beautiful pictures. My favorite was when i went to Uji...on a very rainy day. Byodoin and the temples were awesome. The Genji Monogatari museum is small but worth a visit. Went up the monorail to Enryakuji on Mt. Hiei....then walked to the tippy top 848m up....to the flower garden with the observatory that lets you see ALL of Kyoto (Kurama and Lake Biwa included). Went out to Hikone on the other side of Lake Biwa and spent a day in and out of Hikone Castle. Kurama is awesome to visit (on days other than the fire festival) i walked up one side and down the other. Decided to go Fushimi-Inari at night....walked to the top. The Imperial Tombs in Fushimi are cool...Emperor Meiji's tomb isnt far from Fushimi-Momoyama Castle. saw the Jidai Matsuri, a ceremony for toys, and a parade in Arashiyama. went up every side path i could find.....went to the top of 5 mountains. visited a ton of shrines/temples. walked the grounds of the Imperial Palace. even got to visit Murasaki Shikibu's tomb. i took 9000 pictures and 300hours of video. brought back home 190lbs worth of luggage. I cant wait to go back
Thanks to your video on Karahori, I had an amazing lunch at the cosy rustic restaurant in Osaka. Definitely returning to Kyoto (weekend was too short the first time) with this clip as guide ;D
In Kyoto I usually rent iBis hotel right next to Kyoto station so I can use my JR pass at any moment like going to Uji, Nara, Nagoya, Himeji, Kobe or Osaka. It's reasonably priced, has amazing service and very good traditional breakfast. To take a selfie with no people in Arashiyama you have to take the very first train there, tho you'll still bump into a bunch of photographers. The area and nature beyond the forest is still amazing and worth seeing. Fushimi Inari is worth visiting closer to the evening and don't be lazy to go to the top. Most tourists turn around not even reaching the middle, so you have a good chance of getting selfie with no people or being attacked by wild monkeys. Gion is always crowded, but I still love it. Love to walk along Kamo river. Love Kyoto.
I only did eikando and kodaiji for autumn in kyoto main city during my trip dec 1-7 2019. I did day trips to kurama, and uji, amazing that tourists concentrated on kyoto. not so much in Kurama and Uji.
Konnichiwa and Welcome back Angela! I've missed your videos, which are always informative and entertaining at the same time! I hope that you'll start posting more often now. How's the school project going? Mata ne 😀
Your videos are fantastic. I love your inclusion of maps-- edited at EXACTLY the right moment, when you are talking about a travel route etc. Only an intelligent educator and explorer like yourself will work with the knowledge that people absorb information differently and many are visual learners-- even if someone is not so much that way, it definitely helps facts and tips sink in better for everybody who clicks on travel videos for primary reasons that pertain to research rather than just entertainment. Your dynamic editing and visual descriptions offer real 'zing' and energy to a video to break it up like this. It is worth your effort and I just wanted to let you know that these little moments of flair do no go unnoticed. They are valued and appreciated. Thank you for these videos. I can't WAIT to return to Japan. I've missed it so much this year. :)

Wearing like a business women, but still having JanSport backpack😊 Entrepreneur and wild traveler, yes that’s Angela! I’m glad to see the spirit😆👍
Rion Ishida LOL 😂
Angela your videos are simply the best, you never suggest anything too turistic
The experience with maiko looks amazing! I want to do that one day
You’re so right about the crush of tourism in Kyoto! I’m Canadian but live in Kyoto now..
Your English is so wonderful!
Japan is such an endlessly beautiful land. Kyoto is one of its many gems. And when it comes to charming guides, who could ever top Angela?

Stuff to do in Kyoto AND avoid crowds? This video was made for me! (Not literally cuz that’d be weird, but you know what I mean)
Thank you!

It looks so beautiful when you were in traditional kimono dress at the evening scene.
Why I started to watch your video is to learn English because I had to come to US by work. But your video makes me want to return to Japan.
If you want to avoid the crowd go walk in the mountain, I lived 3 month in Kyoto, and when I wanted to be alone a little I took my bike and went to any mountain around Kyoto, I barely found anyone up here
i did this every chance i got. Only folks i would bump into, if any at all, were older folks.
Yup this was my go-to when I lived in Kyoto
I used to cycle through the eerily quiet streets going up the mountains and it was amazing. Only from time to time would I see the odd person appearing at the door or in a garden, almost like an apparition, almost like they weren't real. It's like ghost towns
The hidden cafe you popped into is awesome. It looks so cool even for me, who were born and raised in Japan.
Where is it exactly? I want to visit it!!!!
Thank you for sharing your Japanese experiences 🤗💕💕💕💕💕💕
The kimono fits you really well!
This looks like a lovely side of Kyoto away from the crowds. I was a student near Osaka many years ago and I loved the old town feel of Kyoto. That was in 1995.
Wow!! I guess Japan was really different at the time,. With no internet or video blogs it sure looked very mysterious!
We would go weeks without seeing other foreigners unless we went into Osaka!
I very much enjoy the vibe of your adventures along with an enduring Positive energy, like the Sun. Great travel tips, Thank you.

Your videos are fantastic. I love your inclusion of maps-- edited at EXACTLY the right moment, when you are talking about a travel route etc. Only an intelligent educator and explorer like yourself will work with the knowledge that people absorb information differently and many are visual learners-- even if someone is not so much that way, it definitely helps facts and tips sink in better for everybody who clicks on travel videos for primary reasons that pertain to research rather than just entertainment. Your dynamic editing and visual descriptions offer real 'zing' and energy to a video to break it up like this. It is worth your effort and I just wanted to let you know that these little moments of flair do no go unnoticed. They are valued and appreciated. Thank you for these videos.
