Hey everyone! Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for watching our video about our trip to Kyoto. It was an incredible experience for us and we're thrilled to be able to share it with you. We hope our itinerary and recommendations help you plan your own trip to Kyoto, and if you do end up going, we'd love to hear about your adventures in the comments below! Thanks again for your support - it means the world to us. Happy travels!
Honestly I can’t think of a better way to spend 3 days in Kyoto! A great itinerary and would highly recommend all the things we visited, saw, and ate! If someone followed this itinerary to the t, I’m sure they wouldn’t be disappointed. Great video and editing too!
Thanks, babe! I'm glad we were able to squeeze in so many amazing things into just three days. And I mean, let's be honest, the food alone was worth the trip! Can't wait to go back to Kyoto with you soon
I've been at Kyoto last November, some serious advice for the bamboo forest: go early. go super early. when sunrise starts, the place will start filling up with influencers and tourists trying to take photos while it's still empty. During daytime you can hardly walk there since it's so crowded. If you can't go there early, and you only want to take a picture there, don't bother. You will be rather frustrated than happy.
Oh man I wish I was amazing at videography!! I do alright taking photos, but my filmmaking is limited to Instagram reels 😂 I’ll try and remember to send/tag you guys some of my content on Instagram when we go! 😍🇯🇵🏯
This is almost a copy of our trip to Kyoto in July 2018. We stayed at the same hotel (which was amazing), and the timing was perfect because it was also during Gion Matsuri. The only 'bad' thing was that this visit was during summertime, and it can be really hot in Kyoto, so we had to plan to do most of the daily trips as early as possible. Our favourite ramen spot was near Karasuma station (don't remember the name), but is was really good. One of the recommendations I have is to do a walking tour in the Geisha district, best time would be around 17:00 to 19:00 as than most geiko and meiko will travel to their appointments, and that is the best time to spot them. As Kyoto is becoming more and more crowded with tourists we have decided not to go to Kyoto anymore (been there 4 times, so we have seen a lot of spots already). If you want to see geisha's I can highly recommend Kanazawa. There are lesser number of tourists, and it also has many nice spots to visit.
@@BrieanaYoung Yeah, I think so. Considering that most of the hotels lost evenue the past few years and trying to get back on track by increasing their price, that hotel price is really good value. Mine in 2018 was 165 per night in Kyoto
Aw, thanks so much! appreciate you taking the time to watch this videos and follow along with our adventures. It's always great to hear from our viewers. Have a fantastic day!
I’m happy to know that you came to Kyoto even I live in Osaka😂 I hope you like Japan. And to everyone who sees this comment, please come and enjoy your experience! 🇯🇵
what a lovely young couple you are! Such a pleasure to watch your video... heading to Japan end of Feb, but I love the cold so looking forward to it! Can't wait to try all the food there. Thanks for your tips!
Not only was this video beautifully curated with well captured images, but you seamlessly inserted so many tips and tricks for travelling within Japan. Well done, both of you 👍
Just wanted to tell you how much i love your video. It surely gave me lots of ideas for my upcoming trip to Japan with my mother. We are also going to Osaka and Arima Onsen. Would love to see more of your videos!!!!
Just got back from Kyoto, man, it is packed with people, with cherry blossom in season and tourist returning to Japan. I would vist Kyoto in all seasons!!
We also did the Bamboo Forest at dawn, however when we got there, we weren't the only ones. Luckily for us, they were also fellow photographers and we all kind of agreed to work with each other and shoot from a certain spot so we could get the classic shots at this place. I enjoyed watching this vlog. Glad to see that your ankle sprain wasn't too bad and you were able to enjoy your last day in Kyoto.
Ahh this video is making me so jealous. I would love to visit Japan someday soon. There's an Ichiran in NYC and every time I visit I have to stop by. Best ramen ever!
This makes me so excited for my 2 week trip to Japan in Nov :) Also the uniqlo heattech leggings are the best to wear under jeans or any pants for the winter!
How sweet city thanks ur Explorer tha beuyte of Japan everything every place amazing but sunrise view amazing all nature there fantastic. Thanks u nice video
01:51 I believe that's a plum tree! Plum (Ume) flowers are famous in Japan too, and they blossom just before Cherry blossom, spanning from Jan to March :) 02:01 That's Yatsuhashi, one of the most famous traditional sweets from Kyoto. It's like big sweet ravioli. Inside the mochi dough, there's Anko (Red bean paste) or Shiro An (White bean paste) sometimes combined with other fruit flavors. 12:10 I think the golden temple was originally built in the 14th century, not in the 19th! Thanks for sharing this video! There aren't many videos showing how the winter Kyoto is like so it was super insightful :D
My last trip in November, I didn't leave Tokyo because there was so much to do, which I kind of regretted. This time, going straight to Osaka and a few days in Kyoto for sure. Great vlog!
That’s exactly what we did last time we where in Japan! There is just so much to see in Tokyo! But we made sure we came back and spend some days Kyoto! It was definitely worth it!
Hi Brianna. Hey thank you for the video about Kyoto. We are heading there next week for the first time. So looking forward to it so much. This video is made us more excited now. Video is informative and helpful thank you. Looking food to the food. Let you know how we go. Richie
15:30 you missed the Skyway to the right, just below the rooftop. There's a lot of affordable ramen shop there, also there's underground Mall beneath the kyoto station called Porta, some of the shop offers affordable food.
Thanks for watching, so happy to hear that our video made you want to revisit Japan! It's such an awesome place with so much to explore. Hope you get the chance to go back soon!!
Hi!!! Just wondering what sneakers did you wear? I love a good white sneaker 👟 My first trip to Japan will be in a few weeks. Ughh your vlogs are so good.
Thank you! I wore the Nike air max 90! They were the only shoes I brought with me on this trip and they where sooooooo comfy!! Japan requires a lot of walking so make sure you have some comfy shoes :)
What an awesome trip the views were stunning 😍 looks a magical place busy at times Hope your Ankle ok ? Dream trip for many 😜 i just keep watch videos 😊 . Have a Good week 🥰 thank you for sharing .
Hi, my name is Haruka and I am Japanese. I really enjoyed the video and it made me miss Japan! I used to be a flight attendant of Japan Airlines and now I live in Sydney so I hope I can work at your company in the near future✈️
Rolling an ankle is no joke, huh? Sorry to hear it took you out for a week. I was definitely hobbling for a few days, but thankfully bounced back pretty quick.
**Extra Context and corrections:** (At least the ones I caught/remember) 0:02 For vacation planners, 3 days is pretty damn short if you actually want to see alot of the cooler spots in Kyoto. You will be skipping some. 1:47 Gion is actually a lot bigger than what was shown in the video and alot of it is modern shopping districts. 1:53 Those are plum blossoms not cherry blossoms they bloom earlier in the year, thus why they were there. 3:34 the "emoji looking snacks" are called hanami dango. "Hanami" meaning literally 'flower viewing' 5:01 This is still Gion 6:23 Pontocho alley is definitely worth a walk through if you are in Gion. Right nearby is the famous kichi kichi omlet rice place with the flamboyant chef 8:10 The tram is not necessary to get to Arashiyama. Although it is scenic. There's a similar tram in the middle of Tokyo (rare) called Todenarakawa-sen 8:51 Despite it being dark here, they made a good choice going early. During the day this area is insanely crowded post COVID. 11:52 Peach Fanta is seasonal and not always available in stores 14:09 Japanese medical system is really good and often very cheap so don't be afraid to go into the doctors if you ever get sick or injured in Japan. 15:51 "Sushi train" or "conveyorbelt sushi" is called 'Kaitenzushi' in Japanese 18:12 You can go from the station to the top of the mountain and all the way to the bottom in 2 hours. If you are already walking up the path with the rest of the tourists then to the top only adds around 30-45 minutes. 18:30 The more you go up the mountain the less people there are at any time of day. So you can find some great photo spots even during the day.
My goodness this was nothing short of epic. First of all how is your ankle? So sorry that happened Bri. Goes to show that no one is immune to such mishaps while travelling. Seemed like you still got around ok. Impossible to pick a favorite part of this vlog. A Japanese trip may not be on the horizon but this was as close to actually being there as you can be IMO. Bummer I tuned into the premiere just as it ended. UGH Nice timing on my part ehh lol. But yeah, a single thumbs up just doesn't cut it here. The truly stunning visuals and the ample bits of information blended seamlessly to make for a truly memorable viewing experience. Thanks so much both of you
I don't know how I missed your last video spontaneous trip to Japan. I'm so jealous, I haven't been there in almost 15 years?? I really miss the pork buns (Nikuman). I really believe that you were moved to the exit row because you flew as non-rev (American name for staff travel) If you were flying on my airline one of the big three in the U.S. we would definitely move a non-rev to those seats or if it was ok with the purser we would move you to an upper class of main cabin if seats were available. I have just a question for you. Were you on an A-350 from MEL-HKG? I saw on the safety information card that you were on a 777 from HKG-KIX. As a flight attendant I'm always interested in what aircraft you flew/fly on to different destinations and what they served you food-wise from which point to which point. Thank you for adding in so much information about needing a Visa, the hotel you stayed at, info on catching and buying tickets for the train and the other transit system (subway, metro), and all the interesting visitor places to visit.
Must be time for another visit then! haha pork buns are the best hey!! oh how nice to know they upgraded us and gave us extra leg room, i didn't know airlines did this! yes i think it was an A-350! thanks for watching and your nice comment!
Wonderful video - thank you so much! Do you have any info to share on how you made it from Arashiyama to the temple? What was the route you guys chose? Thank you!!!
hey took a train and then a tram!! i can't exactly remember what tram it was but it took us straight there! and then walked a little bit we just put the rainforest in google maps and selected public transport and just followed the instructions! hope this helps!
Thanks for all the tips and putting this video together! Question - do you think it's safe for single travellers to go to all these sights as early as you did? I will be there in 2 weeks 🙌 Definitely going to that ramen place!
Yes, absolutely! I found Japan very safe! I even went out at night to go to the 711 to buy some food by myself! Obviously still be street smart & if your gut is telling you something listen to it :)
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P_ud0jZPc20.html Nếu gặp lại cậu nhớ gì về tôi? Khẽ vẫy chào, hay như người xa lạ Một khoảnh khắc, mà giờ xa xôi quá Người đi vội, người đợi mãi sân ga.. Thanh xuân gửi ai, mà ta hoài đánh mất Gió heo may về, nhắc lòng khẽ bâng khuâng Có người đợi ai, mà vấn vương mấy lần. Phượng hồng đã phai, gió vẫn lay phần phật. … Rồi ta đi tới, ta xa thanh xuân vắng Trả lại bầu trời, ngày mưa nắng giăng giăng Thả lòng chơi vơi, sầu ai mang dằng dặc Ngày xưa vời vợi, vụt mất tựa sao băng…. #thanhxuan #tuoitre #divang #xuhuong #kiniem
hi there, awesome video! I got a question, please! How do you travel around Kyoto? Like, did you take the local buses all the time? Did you buy a pass when you are in Kyoto and which pass do you recommend? :D I have 3 days to spare in Kyoto as well!
hey! yes we took trains and busses everywhere! the transportation is so convenient! I would recommending buying an IC card and you use it for most trains and buses around kyoto! enjoy your time there!! :)
@@BrieanaYoung thanks so much! will do! i am very excited and anxious at the same time! like.. even when watching this vlog of yours! 3 days full of actions and adventures! I'm anxious about not understanding the transportations, especially the local ones, and ended up ruining the plan 😂😂
Hi, upon reading isn't there supposed to be the signing of the per temple/shrine for the goshuincho, how come the one ones on the video seems to be closed?
Hi, Bri ! ... Despite your broken ankle, how was your japanese rooster ? ... Did you enjoy your experince ? ... By the way, how many language you speak fluent currently ? ... Take care of yourself ! ... See you in Japan the next time ! 😉
I used the Sony zv e10 for the vlogging part and then the canon r6 mark ii for the really nice cinematic shots & there was a bit of iPhone footage as well
Hello,🐦🌺 May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." Also, can I share Isaiah 53:5 " But HE was WOUNDED For our TRANSGRESSIONS, he was BRUISED for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His STRIPES we are HEALED." God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?
