Hi Andrew! I just wanted to say thank you for all the tips around Kyoto.😊 It’s been wonderful doing all the non touristy things and seeing some wonderful gems in this beautiful city.🤩

@mikefieldhouse8905 2 месяца назад

In Kyoto and just bumped into another subscriber in the Bamboo Forest - just us and a Japanese Wedding ceremony! Fantastic.

Honestly, you are the most hidden gem I’ve come across! What great info, I’ll be using it in March to discover more of Kyoto than I would’ve without this!

@japanunravelled 4 месяца назад

Thank you!

@FrantaPo-bc5mu 6 дней назад

I can confirm pagoda in Eikando has a great view, but the whole temple is impressive. Adashino Nenbutsu-ji is also great and there is another bamboo forest within the temple. I think Arashiyama could easily get it's own episode as the whole area is extremely pleasant with long history.

@ingehoffman7313 3 месяца назад

Thank you - I am going mid May to mid June and planning Osaka and Kyoto only with few outskirt day trips - your hidden gems are exactly my cup of green tea as a traveller 🎏👘⛩️🌅

Cheers! Have a look at this video if you want some more ideas: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8jKwPkznr20.html

If you live in Kyoto, you should have enough material for many more episodes of the "hidden gems". I'm looking forward to it!

It's really kind of you, thank you. Yes, that's pretty much how I travel - ignore the overblown and overrated because there's tonnes better value out there!

On my recent trip to Japan, I followed so many of your suggestions for Kyoto and it was wonderful. Thanks a lot for this video, it definitely helped make our trip extra special. Due to the Cherry Blossom season, the routine places were excruciatingly crowded and your off beat locations offered such a great break from the crowds.

@japanunravelled 2 месяца назад

Great to hear! Thank you!

@Moemuntz 4 месяца назад

Thank you for sharing the Google maps links. Very thoughtful. As soon as you mentioned my favorite spot at Eikan-do I knew this was a good itinerary. My other favorite thing to do is walk down the philosophers path from Eikando to Kannon-do Ginkaku 👌 it’s not long (30 min long) but somehow always takes me 2 hours to finish. Can’t help myself but to stop and admire everything.

@japanunravelled 4 месяца назад

Wouldn't be much of a useful video without the links! The Philosopher's Path does seem to make you walk slowly and take everything in, I know what you mean. Actually I walked it in the snow last year and have the video. Absolutely wonderful experience!

I'm bingeing all your videos in preparation for my first trip to Japan in mid-February. Byodo-In has long been on my list of places to visit as I grew up on Oahu right next to Valley of the Temples where there is a half-sized replica of the temple. Looking forward to seeing the original!

@japanunravelled 4 месяца назад

Oh thanks! Yes, when researching I found out about the replica there, very surprising. I hope you have a brilliant trip!

@Wanderfoolife 2 месяца назад

Thank you for this video. Will visit Osaka end of tnis month and will try to squeeze in one day in Kyoto and Ive been wanting to visit the not so usual tourist spot.

@japanunravelled 2 месяца назад

That's a great idea! Since you'll be short on time I recommend picking one area - plenty of picks across both Kyoto videos in Arashiyama for example. Have fun!

@BookOfEclipse 4 месяца назад

Hello, just wanted to say thank you for these videos and bringing light to the roads less traveled. Im hoping you can make a series of underrated gems specifically for the winter season in Japan. I figured it would go well with the theme since that seems to be Japans least crowded season.

@japanunravelled 4 месяца назад

Thanks! Oh yeah, there are quite a few places for the winter. I'll put it on the list, so thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for posting this video! I just finished watching your video on Mistakes First time in Japan. Both very helpful videos! We’re visiting Japan this early April but unfortunately we only have 3 nights in Tokyo, then head to Osaka for 2 nights then Kyoto for 2 nights then lastly back to Tokyo for another 3 nights. I would like to avoid the chaos of crowds but since our time is very short at these places in Japan, could you recommend any hidden gems at these cities that won’t take too much time to traverse in between sights? I love history and nature and can’t wait to finally visit Japan! Thanks in advance for your time and recommendations! Sincerely appreciate any help!

@japanunravelled 4 месяца назад

Sure! From both of the Kyoto videos: Adashino Nenbutsu-ji / Saga Torimoto and Giou-ji are all clustered in the same part of Arashiyama. You can also go to Uji by Keihan line and stop off at Fushimi-Inari on the way back. I recommend going later in the day or evening to avoid the crowds at both. Honen-in, Eikando and Tenjuan are also near to each other. With Osaka and Tokyo there's a fair bit of travel time between places, and good luck if you want to visit there without encountering crowds. Most places I recommend are day-trips from those cities, but that's not much good on a limited time schedule.

@@japanunravelled well we had to change out plans a bit, so in short we will go in winter (early Feb 2025) rather than autumn. So we will check the Sapporo snow festival dirst and then went down the country.

Thank you so much for all the information! Can you recommend a Kimono rental place close to one of the hidden gems? We will be staying near Kyoto station

@japanunravelled 4 месяца назад

Funnily enough I've never worn a kimono, so can't recommend anywhere. Putting "kimono rental" into google maps shows most shops are around Gion in east Kyoto, although there's at least one a short walk from the Kimono Forest in Arashiyama. See which works for your plans!

Sadly i wouldn't be able to go to the flea market next month (i'm going to nagasaki on february 24). Or maybe i could go on the other date you mention. let's check these info in the description! (Edit: they are a lot of stuff, thanks you so much for the information! : ) Also i'm planning to visit the Kitano tenmangu shrine to see the Plum blossom garden of february. I think it will not be as awesome as an hanami but it seem worth a visit . Side question: Hanami is only used for sakura or can it be used for plum as well ? Thanks you for the very informative video as always!

@japanunravelled 4 месяца назад

I think it's only for sakura. For me at least, Nagasaki beats any flea market, so enjoy!

Not exactly a “flea market” but you may want to check some shops in the pedestrian streets surrounding Nishiki Market. There are a few vintage stores around
