Yeah, it was the 2nd and 3rd week of November. The leaves are very different across Japan, so not all leaves turn at the same time since the climates vary. If you watch one of our other videos about Mt. Fuji/samurai experience, the leaves there are VERY red.
“Tourists are being banned from entering certain alleys in Gion, the famous geisha district in Kyoto, with Aussie travellers warned to take note. Local residents had become fed-up with hordes of tourists, saying their neighbourhood “is not a theme park,” pleading with the city to take action” posted April 5, 2024
That’s a little misleading. The residents have complained about over tourism for decades. The new law restricting tourists from entering certain neighborhoods has more to do with recent tourist’s behavior towards the maiko & geiko.
The Japanese people put on tours of the district, so implying they all want tourists to leave would be hard to believe. I think Brian is right, it’s more because of tourist behavior towards the maiko and geiko while they’re working

I think this is my favorite video yet. I loved Kyoto.
Hey, what days where you there in November? It still looked quite green and not yet peak autumn 😢

video so good
Thanks! We have a bunch more from this trip on the channel and more to come from Tokyo!
I've lived in Japan over 30 years and that Chef's Japanglish was at a different level.
Right?! I've never had that hard of a time understanding anyone 😂
I wish we could have done a better job with the subtitles, but we just couldn’t figure it out

Going next November - putting Brad Pitt's Katsu Emporium on the list 😋
Go for the great English, stay for the beef katsu
Correct me if im wrong but i think its unethical in Japan to eat while walking.
Probably not "unethical" but bad manners is probably more true. You see some walking/eating in the video?
