We’re so happy to hear that 😍 Kyoto is a very special place so filming was pure pleasure over there!

日本にようこそ、長い動画編集大変だったと思います。最初から見させてもらいました。とても良かったですよ！京都は本当に人が多すぎますね。私が30年前に行った時には海外の方は殆ど見かけませんでした。それほど日本が有名になったと言う事ですね。次の動画も楽しみにしてますよ。😀

It was a long one but we hope it covered all the aspects and sides of Kyoto because that was our idea 😍 We had such a fantastic time there but obviously it was a little bit impacted by the number of tourists - probably each of the visitors was a a bit frustrated but at the end of the day, everyone there is for the same cause and the surroundings were just STUNNING! We would definitely want to come back one day and venture into lesser known areas 🙏🏼 We’re uploading 2 more exciting vlogs from Japan so hope you’ll enjoy watching them too!!!

Kyoto is what we think of when we visit a traditional city in Japan. We love it. We're sure you do too. And having a game plan when you tour it, makes it easier and fun. The food is out of this world. We had the best sushi ever in our lives there. Arigatu-Amas🙏 for the lovely tour. Harriet and I want to take this time out to wish you guys and your families a Wonderful Holiday Season ! It's been a wonderful year discovering you guys on the channel. Looking forward to the New Year 2025 with more content. Sending you much love ❤ from Richmond, VA. Jim and Harriet

These are such loving words from you 🥹🥹 Thank you Jim and Harriet so much for your support and for letting us show you different experiences from our side! Kyoto is definitely a beautiful place that radiates a beautiful energy - we were amazed at all the places we visited. We are convinced that this is what most people go there for! The food was delicious!!! So we continued this beautiful culinary adventure further in Osaka - the city known as the food capital of Japan. We hope you enjoy the next vlog ❤️ Merry Christmas to both of you!!! 🎄

honestly kyoto was my favorite of my trip, but that was found in just the streets, the quiet, the houses with the beautiful views, i did kiyomizudera and the fushimi inari shrines both were beautiful but i preferred getting away from the crowds.

@salteveline Ай бұрын

the amount of tourists are crazy this december ! i went there last July so its not overly crowded in osaka-tokyo

@JayandKarolina Ай бұрын

We were shocked when we realised that no matter how early you wake up, it’s going to be thousands of tourists around the main spots (temples) 🥺 We went there in November which was perfect time for travelling as the autumnal colours were just stunning 🍁🍂 so probably it also was to be expected that there will be plenty people having the same idea…

@jaybee4288 Ай бұрын

You actually do better going later in the day. Everyone has the same idea to get there early and it’s one of the busiest times. But crowds tend to drop around dinner time.

@KariHaruka 29 күн бұрын

A trick to Kyoto is researching the lesser visited spots. For an example, the bamboo forests. Everyone knows about the one in Arashiyama. However, they are two lesser known and visited spots. The 1st bamboo forest, 'Take-no-michi' in Muko. Which can be found in a 20 minute train ride from Arashiyama. And the 2nd bamboo forest can be found off a path from the main paths of Fushimi Inari Taisha.

Hello! Thank you for the wonderful video ❤️ 16:30 Why photographing maikos and geishas is avoided When they are walking outside, they are on their way to work. I read that the union forbids it because too many photographers gather during the commute and it interferes with going to the store😅 I also think it's to avoid having your private moments photographed by a bunch of strangers. An event where you can take pictures of maiko and geiko I would be happy if I could do it!

@JayandKarolina Ай бұрын

Very insightful! Thank you so much for sharing :) We’ve seen 2 geishas that day (one on the street, and one inside a taxi) but didn’t dare taking any pictures haha 📸

I am watching your videos with great interest. 6:25 About 98% of visitors to Japan make a mistake, but Chozuya water is not for drinking. After rinsing your mouth, spit it out into the ditch below. It is correct to take water from a dipper with your hand and carry it to your mouth, but it is a formal manner to purify your left and right hands with water before doing it. Please observe the behavior of Japanese people. I can feel respect for others from both of you. I hope you have a wonderful trip ahead.

We like to be respectful because it helps us connecting with the culture and we would never want to offend somebody intentionally ❤️ Thank you so much for watching!

Appreciate the honesty. I know if I ever go to Kyoto, I'll research "off the beaten path in Kyoto" and plan accordingly. Thanks!

@jaybee4288 Ай бұрын

There’s not really much point in that. You either go and queue up with the rest of the tourists for the attractions everyone wants to see, or go to a different city that’s less crowded like Kanazawa or Kobe or Fukuoka instead. No point in going to Kyoto just to see the less famous sights as there’s a reason they’re less famous.

@JayandKarolina Ай бұрын

We would say: balance it out :) It’s really worth going to some iconic spots but the timing matters + you need to be prepared for the crowds. But definitely it’s good to do some research on lesser known areas because we believe they’ll be equally beautiful too 🙏🏼😍

@perspectivekay2878 Ай бұрын

You should have started your day early. Be at the Bamboo Forest by 6:30AM or when it's open first thing in the morning and out by 9AM. It's the same for every popular tourist attraction in every country. When you mentioned at the train platform that's It's 9 in morning and I thought that's late.

That's what we mean... It's a bit sad seeing how over-crowded is Kyoto 😓 But on the other hand it's so beautiful there so probably the best thing would be controlling the amount of tourists somehow by the Japanese government...

@JayandKarolina Ай бұрын

Yes, the over-tourism is a serious problem in Japan… We feel like there’s going to be more and more people wanting to explore it so the only way is to limit the number of foreigners coming to the country by the government somehow 🧐 But it might be hard because there’s no way it would be possible to track the movement of all the people…

@jaybee4288 Ай бұрын

I would suggest unless you’re going off season to consider giving Kyoto a miss. Sounds crazy but the attractions there are based on peace and quiet. It’s lovely when you have a lot of it to yourself. But during tourist times you literally can’t take any of the good photos and feel crowded all day.

@JayandKarolina Ай бұрын

It’s a really hard decision to take because not only Kyoto is beautiful but also holds a lot of history… We might have felt even more overwhelmed because we wanted to deliver good content for you to watch (and nobody wants to see people’s faces in beautiful places haha) but definitely would try to plan a trip to Japan in a way that is not within the most popular periods :)

Kyoto is full of tourists. It seems like it is no longer Japan.😅 To my surprise, I don't think there was a single Japanese person in the bamboo grove. There were so many Koreans, Chinese, Hong Kong, Taiwanese, and other Asians that you wouldn't have noticed, would you? We Japanese may visit places we have never been to before, but we do not stop at famous tourist attractions that we have been to once. The noisy atmosphere makes us feel uncomfortable, so we can't enjoy the sights and sounds as much as we used to. So I am glad that you, as a foreigner, are showing us this through your eyes, as if you are importing back to Japan👍✨ Thank you for enjoying Japan🍀🍀

@JayandKarolina Ай бұрын

We can totally understand your approach. We felt like we needed to film the most iconic spots but being totally honest, even if it’s beautiful over there, you can find equally stunning places all over Kyoto (or Japan) so that’s what we’ll definitely do next time when we’re back - venturing more into the lesser known areas :)

@kei07210 Ай бұрын

With the suggestion of a place where there are few foreign tourists and where you can relax, there are several cities where carp swim in irrigation canals next to private homes. My recommendation is Shimabara City, Nagasaki Prefecture. (carp, irrigation canal). Nagasaki City in Nagasaki Prefecture is a city that, like Hiroshima, has recovered from the atomic bombing. It is a wonderful prefecture with abundant tourist resources and is visited by the Japanese many times. A trip to Nagasaki City, Shimabara City, and across the sea by ferry to Kumamoto City in Kumamoto Prefecture is my favorite route. Prices are relatively cheap in Kyushu, so you can have a wide range of money for lodging and meals. Everything you eat in Kyushu is delicious anyway! Maybe not this time, but you should visit sometime😊✨

Japan is currently a rare country where people can enjoy high-quality products and services at low prices. While it’s uncertain whether this situation will continue in the future forever , as long as the impact of exchange rates and illegal immigration is kept in check, I believe Japan will remain a tourist paradise where visitors can experience safety, affordability, and a refined culture.

@jaybee4288 Ай бұрын

The current level of tourism is unsustainable for them. There is growing resentment from the Japanese people towards tourism and they’re starting to charge for attractions and have more “Japanese only” places. Likewise internationals are bringing higher crime rates etc. While it’s true their economy isn’t likely to improve anytime soon, it will become less desirable for tourists to go there. People already complain about how crowded and unfriendly it is. Shame really as it used to be really cool when it was more expensive, authentic and less crowded.

@JayandKarolina Ай бұрын

We strongly believe that the government will impose some general rules to control the movement of people coming into the country because in a way both sides would be happier: locals will not feel overwhelmed with the number of tourists, and the visitors would have a less stressful time going around the country 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
