Hey don’t let the negative people bother you. Some people are like that. I thought you gave good tips and in a very concise way. I like short informative videos. And I’m older and travel a lot. But I find the more I know in advance the better my experience will be
I like how everyone who came to Kyoto or elsewhere for the first time are already experts in travelling and teach people how to do that. Booking hotel in advance is wise everywhere if you want better location and deal. Same goes for flight. In Kyoto just have a good time, that is the most amazing city in Japan in my opinion, it's got Japans best to offer.
