šÆšµ Kyoto is packed with touristsāhereās how to actually enjoy it
Back with more Japan Tipsāthis time, Kyoto beyond the temples!Kyoto is one of Japanās most famous citiesā¦ which also means itās crowdedālike, really crowded. If you just go chasing temples and the Instagram-famous spots, youāll miss the part that makes Kyoto truly special. Thatās why we created a different kind of guide. Instead of a long list of things to 'see', we focused on hands-on, immersive experiences that let you feel the culture and traditions of Japan. From forging your own Japanese knife, exploring a hidden side of Fushimi Inari, to exploring quiet Geisha neighbourhoods, everything in our guide is either something weāve done ourselves, or things weāre planning to try next time we return. If you want to explore Kyoto in a way that actually feels meaningful (and avoids the crowds), check out our full Blog Post guide. Our curated list of 30 Unique Things to do in Kyoto includes both local experiences and our favourite day trips from Kyoto!
Your next trip to Kyoto deserves more than just photos of temples š¤! ā Ryan & Nan |
