How I spent 144 hours in Kyoto

[@UlyssesAokiPhoto]

Hey everyone! I had many issues uploading this, but I think we finally got it to work... I hope you enjoy! 😊

[@superhap]

missing kyoto. Thanks for sharing this trip

[@hunterjames.]

I absolutely love what you're doing with your channel Ulysses, you're clearly finding your own creative identity in these and it really shows. I also really like the longer format, especially for travel-related content. Keep up the great work!

[@naejluoar9815]

Hi Ulysses. Great video thanks again. My first visit to Kyoto was in 1977.... it has changed a bit since. But I was there again in 2019 and enjoyed it. Merci. Domo arigato. Jean

[@CurrentlyNobody]

A video that makes me feel comfortable and happy~ The soundtrack is also great !

[@ayazayy]

Dude, I totally enjoyed this seemingly long-ass vlog. I'm so glad you decided to do this more often than your trademark photography-centric videos. You seem a lot more chilled/at ease, and your vibe effortlessly flows through these vlogs. Hats off to your girlfriend for being such a sport. I'm looking forward to seeing more chilled vlogs like these.

[@christianschmidt3818]

Dear Ulysses...I stumbled across your video...a good year after it was published. It brought me to the rest of your videos and thus to your channel. I love your cinematic style and storytelling. It's great! Please keep up the good work with your content art. Best regards from Germany. Chris

[@UlyssesAokiPhoto]

Thank you so much for the heartwarming comment Chris.

[@anothernovelty]

Honestly I think this is one of the best videos you've ever made. The colors, scenery, and the food... beautiful. I also liked how you showed us the sites in less than ideal weather conditions. It made it feel like I was taking part in your journey if that makes sense. Stay warm and dry! 😄 I'm already looking forward to your next one!

[@JK-ql2en]

Wow. Thank you for putting this together, I am waiting for Japan to open borders and this hit all the spots why I want o visit so badly. Hope for you it takes off

[@jebtheghillie4512]

Absolutely killing it with this video!

[@hulobok]

Hi Ulysses, just wanted to say I am really enjoying the new direction of the channel and encourage you to keep going down this path. Your personality really comes through when it’s vlog style vs. Photo review related only videos. When I visited in 2017 Kyoto was my favourite city and somewhere I’ve now dreamed about living in more permanently in the future. Thank you for bringing us along! Getting to relive my time there through your video. Cheers!

[@imseeno]

Dude. During this whole video, I kept thinking いいなー. I've been in Japan for six years and I have yet to go to Kyoto. And for you to go to such a beautiful place at a time where there is very few people...that's like a dream. I really appreciate you showing us Kyoto in a way that isn't like other English speaking KZbinrs in Japan. Recently, a lot of those other KZbinrs show places in a very influencer/privileged manner that kind of rub me the wrong way. This was very refreshing.

[@Peter.Charles]

Well said, now get to Kyoto dude! Before the tourists come back! 😊

[@DrewWillson]

Can you recommend more KZbin channels from Japan you enjoy?

[@imseeno]

​@@DrewWillson ​ I don't really know of other Japan based English speaking KZbinrs who make content about Japan with similar vibe to Ulysses's video here. Many of the big KZbinrs (I'd rather not specifically name them in fear of potential backlash from their fans) have been seeming like influencers and I personally am not a fan. You might want to check them out though. You might end up enjoying them.

[@UlyssesAokiPhoto]

Thanks man! I think it's because I've lived here so long it's hard to be "hype" about the places specifically. Also, my blood pressure is just too low.

[@imseeno]

@@UlyssesAokiPhoto keep making these chill videos. I'm all for it 👍

[@SamuelStreetlife]

Okay only 95 videos like this left! 😆 Love the long format and your vlogging style is very easy to watch. Good mix of ambience and music. Continue like that and I see you getting free hotels and sponsored trips soon (maybe that’s the goal?). It would be nice!

[@AlDarweesh]

Amazing I can't wait for the next one, I just felt all cosy and relaxed while watching this video. Really enjoying these newer videos of you travelling around Japan.

[@ElusiveFrame]

You know you're having fun when you lose track of the days. Great super vlog! I love the shift in content the channel has taken lately, even though I like everything you produce. 😎

[@PeterShrieveDon]

Yo man, your stuff is looking better and better with each video. So easy to watch but without lacking substance. Keep em coming.

[@HaiTomVlog]

Relaxing video, I’m really liking the new direction you’ve been taking with your vids! 🤙🏼

[@jmdoe5822]

Your cinematography is really unique for KZbin. People can make some great, really polished looking stuff these days but your photographic eye means light is taking centre stage in almost every shot. Fantastic stuff.

[@Anfernee_G]

So many great memories in Kyoto. I spent a lot of time between Osaka and Kyoto over the years and I miss them both dearly. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

[@jdnormandie]

a "long-form" video like this feels like an absolute oasis these days, great work - stoked to see whatever's coming next too.

[@Ben-vg1lw]

It’s great to see you in good shape Ulysses, mentally I mean. Nice video too!

[@MrChomiq]

The third time is the charm... Really enjoyed it

[@georgemarvin3093]

Japan is so beautiful. Really like the travel vlog so much Uly. Hoping so much to visit there again.

[@diegomayafotografia8856]

Really enjoy this video, all the trip looks fantastic and i hope you can show us more of your country in the future.

[@balboa0621]

Loved this vid, man. Keep up the new direction

[@janwilson9485]

I really enjoyed this content. I may never be lucky enough to get to Kyoto but seeing it through your eyes is a revelation - keep up the creativity.

[@eric237]

Just got back from Kyoto and miss it even more after watching this, great video!

[@robertbrooks5888]

I plan to experience Kyoto for myself some day, if the world ever gets back to normal.

[@bclaypoo]

Very much enjoyed you and gf sharing your personal views of Japan, really cool.

[@MarcS4R]

oh man this is so good, many places i have seen as well, and i miss being there.

[@aramdavid]

This was a beautiful video. Excellent work.

[@JeffreyFilman]

This has to be my favourite video you have made Ulysses! I've really been enjoying the real live videos you have been making. Thank you for taking the time to film and share your trip to Kyoto! 😊

[@Irish_Pub]

I was just in Japan and I was so bummed that I only got to spend a few hours in Kyoto. Definitely a place I could have spent days in.

[@fabipuello]

I really appreciate you sharing some of Japan. I get to live vicariously through your guy's experiences

[@LarsLKen-jo6fr]

I really love where the channel is heading to, i liked and still like your older, just photography related content also, but it's really nice to have some different topics covered also. And the video really makes me miss Kyoto, is been a while since i visited and COVID is doing it's best to prevent another visit in the next time. So more vlog from all around Japan and daily lives is really appreciated!

[@ErickaJanes]

Thank you for your work! Incredibly beautiful!

[@dax5066]

Totally love the vibe of this video. Beautiful. Thank you!

[@xxmtfkxx]

i’m enjoying the video..a great video for chilling out with coffee and cigarette..😅 i miss Japan so much..🥰 thank you Ulysses!

[@Caracalaba]

It was a really nice video. It's full with subtle funny and cute interactions between you both, plus the video stransmit a very special vibe and journey atmosphere. All this is very nicely captured and put together, which must have taken a lot of work. Really enjoyed it.

[@maxwellwellmax878]

Wow just wow!!! soooooooo many interesting images one can take everywhere you went!!. Thank you for your Video!.

[@syarifmaulana4341]

This whole Kyoto trip are eye pleasing. Thank you for sharing with us

[@rjmatter]

Nice work! Did not feel like 31 minutes long at all! As the film critic Roger Ebert used to say, "No good movie is too long and no bad movie is short enough."

[@asok15146]

Thank you, I loved it. I've been a few times to Kyoto, long ago, and it was so nice to see those sights again.

[@dbugatto]

Nice chill vid .

[@detroitgagt]

i plan to go down there from yokosuka in the spring! have to hit up osaka too!

[@kaiditmn]

[@melaninxhalide1165]

[@CalMukumoto]

Lovely trip to Kyoto! Thanks for taking us along.

[@benkuzaaa]

love the opening! so touristy yet so on point!

[@DrewWillson]

Really Enjoyed this one Ulysses! My wife and I were look forward to your next upload! What do you think about showing some images in the next one? I personally would have loved to see 10 or 15 of your favorite photos from this trip placed throughout the video.

[@shereemaebalangue1296]

This is was a really fun and insightful video!! Really enjoyed this one :) keep it up!

[@Peter.Charles]

Wonderful chill video. Thanks for this. 😀

[@Bossti]

What a beautiful video, thank you so much for your effort!

[@tofulosophy]

Epic video. It was great!

[@AManWhoWasntThere]

This was such a beautiful video to watch. I can't wait to travel again! Out of curiosity: do you take any pictures on trips like this or just the videos?

[@Jazzy_Waffles]

I just had to cancel my trip that was booked last year. I’m so sad, but…one day…one day…

[@Reeo92]

Nice video and interesting perspective !

[@AdamWilkoszarski]

I would love to see names and locations of the restaurants you ate at as well :)

[@wiresandtrees]

Really enjoyed this video, makes me want to visit Kyoto again - a truly beautiful place. What is the name of the song at the end of the video - I like it!

[@GrantABenesh]

Love the vlogs dude it's so fun to watch.

[@GiseliRodas]
