#Kyoto #Review TLDR - Super good, I recommend it to everyone It's hard not to love Kyoto. It's the city of traditional Japan that you've read about in books or seen in movies. There's everything here - mountains, temples, rivers, parks, deer and monkeys...…
#Kyoto / Nara Of course, the great Japanese creatures! Deer attacking tourists in search of cookies! You can encounter them all over Japan, but in Nara, they're so tame that they follow tourists in herds who have spotted food. Their horns are shaved off, so…
#Kyoto / Nara In addition to the deer, there are many temples in Nara, including in the mountain forest. Even if you don't feel like going just to see the meme animals, it's still interesting to stroll around the religious sites in Nara. There will…
Of course, when in #Kyoto, you simply have to visit Nara (yes, that's where the deer are). The population of the city (or village?) is 360,000, but it feels like the place relies entirely on tourists, who come in an endless stream from neighboring Osaka and…
#Kyoto - the capital of temples and palaces of Japan. Of course, this spoils tourists a bit - when you go to see a new temple every day, it's hard to fully appreciate its architecture. But even so, after the trip, you'll fondly remember wandering around the…
#Kyoto is surrounded by mountains, and of course, it's a shame not to hike them, especially if the weather permits. But in the evening, it's definitely not worth doing it - it gets dark very quickly, and the views of the city, although beautiful, quickly…
#Kyoto While walking in the mountains near the Inari Shrine, I came across a strange place. Apparently, it's a small cemetery, but for some reason, it's full of repetitive temple elements - a bunch of gates, statues, lanterns. It's like a set of assets from…
Here's a life hack for you if you're going to #Kyoto in the summer to climb mountains - the city is in a seismic zone, and there are hot springs here, one of which is right where Arashiyama is. The prices are reasonable, and there aren't many people. You can…
One of the most overhyped places in #Kyoto - the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest. Yes, it's just a bamboo forest. Well, there are also guys who ride carts for money here. And that's about it, lol. But for some reason, the place still attracts a lot of tourists.…
The Kiomidzu-dera Temple on a golden evening in #Kyoto. It's still a cold early spring.
One of my favorite places in #Kyoto is Iwatayama Park (Monkey Park). On the mountain behind the bamboo forest of Arashiyama, there are hundreds of monkeys that 'farm' food from local workers and tourists. The monkeys freely roam the area, and although they…
#Kyoto is built on the wide Kamogawa River. In addition to its obvious role in water supply, the river also had a religious significance and served as a venue for ceremonies. Now, it's one of the city's tourist attractions. Wooden boats ply along the…
Not the most standard entertainment in #Kyoto - going to a sake brewery to watch how Japanese alcohol is made and to get drunk, that is, to sample the local product😁 The Gekkeikan sake production facility in Kyoto was founded all the way back in the 17th…
#Kyoto The last thing I expected to come across here😂 https://maps.app.goo.gl/WwNs5BkfFxQBm3W87
The well-known Gion district in #Kyoto One of the largest old districts in Japan, which attracts crowds of tourists who have so terrorized the locals that they have agreed with the authorities to introduce a partial ban on visits. At least, that's how it's…
#Kyoto An undeniable fact - the best ramen can only be found in such a place!)
Ramen from #Kyoto
The Philosopher's Path is one of the best places in #Kyoto, where the city and nature merge. In spring, the cherry blossoms bloom here, and the path attracts crowds of tourists, but on a rainy March evening, the number of people wanting to meditate on the…
#Kyoto A post of respect to the guys from SiCX Distillery & Bar, who make cocktails from gin distilled right on the spot. I even managed to bring one of their bottles to Canada😁 https://maps.app.goo.gl/aVcdpbTwdP1rfHRi6
The streets of #Kyoto Obviously, not everyone in Kyoto lives in the stylish two-story traditional houses. If the historic low-rise buildings predominate in the center, then as you go further, you again see those typical Japanese multi-story buildings. In…
#Kyoto The Rokudō Chinnō-ji temple and its surroundings. The Gion district on a warm summer evening.
This is the house I rented for a week on my first trip to #Kyoto A relatively good place by Japanese standards!
After a two-week break from binge drinking, I decided to finally finish the series of posts about #Kyoto, which I've already visited three times but haven't yet put it all together into a coherent picture. To avoid repeating myself, I recommend checking out…
#Kyoto I hit the jackpot with my accommodation in Kyoto, as I only paid $65 per night for a modest room, and ended up right opposite Inari Station, a ten-minute ride from the iconic Gion district and within walking distance of one of Japan's most famous…
#Kyoto Despite the fact that my month-long trip to Japan took me from Fukuoka to Tokyo to Kyoto to Osaka and back to Tokyo, I decided to save my posts about Kyoto for last. This place is very different from all the others I've shown here so far.…
#Kyoto End of March. It's snowing and raining in Japan, hahaha!
