    I cannot STRESS this enough for those planning a Japan trip with plans to stay/go to Kyoto. All of the iconic temples and places Allan put here WILL be SUPER CROWDED if you go during a normal time like 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM. So if you want to have the temples and locations more to yourself, do your self the favor and GET up early af every morning when doing iconic Kyoto attractions. The crowds in Kyoto are not to be under estimated and they will kind of drain you as you traverse the beautiful city that Kyoto is. Kyoto's public transport wasn't designed with the mass groups of tourists it gets in mind like Tokyo's super dense city a large public transport was built up over the years. Kyoto just became a hot spot in the past 10-15 years so the rapid public transport to fit hundreds of people into trains can be lacking in some areas. The buses can have large crowds to just get on the bus, I saw this when there last December. Kyoto is a beautiful city and is a must stop on anyone's Japan trip but is also VERY crowded all the time. So when you do go to Kyoto I stress that getting up early (like 5-7AM) is the best and most fun way to see Kyoto.

    I've always wanted to visit Kyoto more than anywhere else in Japan, ever since I read 'A Year in Japan' by Kate Williamson. It's a book of incredibly beautiful watercolors of the city and culture. I highly recommend it 🧡

    Thank you so much for your amazing content Allan. This is far and away my favorite travel channel on TH-cam, and your videos are so informative and helpful.

    @Schilddruse 3 ปีที่แล้ว +55

    This video is amazing! It's one of the very few that actually deserve to be called a guide. Very informative! I wish I had seen this before I went there last year and found a lot of that for myself. If I had known these things earlier my trip would have been much less messy and I might have been able to see more of this beautiful city.

  • @tjyang1111

My husband and I are a little bit nervous about visiting Japan because it's a world away from anything we've ever experienced and the language alone is going to be a challenge but this video will really help.

    You captured the spirit of kyoto with your beautiful cinematography. I was there last year, and I cannot wait to go back. I have to say, I love your photo style. I have a Sony mirrorless camera as well, and I love taking videos. I'm hoping to get a gimbal in the near future for my travels. Though I'm sure the editing has alot to do with the final look. I'd love to see your photo/video process!

Pontocho, ok noted! your reaction on Kobe beef says it all, we need to try, we're foodies and love to eat and explore local foods! seems like we need to spend at least 3 days in Kyoto next time since we have kids which usually need more times amount to explore haha. thanks for all this info!

    I cannot thank you enough for all your amazing videos, with mind-blowing photos! You have a great talent and the way you cover everything, from planning to visiting, the pros and cons, the budget/funds to allocate, and so on, it's very commendable! You have given me the determination to forget about my apprehension and visit my favourite countries. Hopefully, soon enough, I'll be able to tick off all the places on my bucket list. Meanwhile, I'll just binge watch your videos and dream of lands far far away from where I am.
    P.S. If you could visit Scotland, especially the Isle of Skye, and cover everything that's important to note, I'd be very grateful. Thanks! Keep up the excellent work!

    BTW you can literally walk (if you want to have a walking day from around 9:00 to 22:00) there are plenty of food stalls in between the stops) from Nishiki Market to Fushimi and still end in pontocho.
    So first Nishiki Market - Pass the baton kyoto - Kagin yoshifusa - Yasaka shrine - Hanamikoji street - Yasui Kompira-gū Shrine - Ninen zaka path - Hokan ji Temple - Sannenzaka - Kiyomizu Dera - Fushimi Inari-taisha - pontocho.
    for me it looks like a fun trip, and if im going to go then I will walk this path.
