I’m off to Japan in 2 weeks and am so glad to have found this channel. The info is brilliant, concise and easily digested with great visuals to go along with it! That’s really hard to do! Thank you very much for your hard work.

[@VoyagesJapan]

💛✨ Such a beautifully kind comment! I’m really glad you found the channel too. I have a video about IC Cards coming out this week that should definitely help you in planning for your trip as well. It’s so close!!! Excited for you!! 😃

[@goodliving9453]

Great video. Lots of info I didn’t know. I’m going in October. Does Kyoto only take cash? Do most places take credit cards?

[@VoyagesJapan]

Great question, @goodliving. And I'm glad the video was helpful! Cash is pretty much king in Kyoto, unlike other major cities like Tokyo and Osaka. Temples only accept cash, so if you're looking to buy tickets, it's best to buy them online ahead of time if you don't plan on carrying too much cash. Also, some places accept credit cards, but they tend to be Japanese credit cards. The good thing is that 7-11 ATMs are pretty easy to find and major shops and restaurants do accept credit cards. But to play it safe, try to bring along some cash for your Kyoto trip. Hope this helps!

[@rorozoro8448]

I’m absolutely devastated. Tourists are banned from the Gion district from April ‘24.

[@VoyagesJapan]

I know!! It’s so disappointing. But is it from the entire district, or just the side streets near the tea houses and geisha/maiko quarters?

[@Antonius2085]

Im pretty certain it’s just the alley streets that have geisha houses.
