7:40 -The rabbit may be a representation of the Okazaki Shrine, which is one of Kyoto's oldest shrines. The shrine is full of statues of the rabbit, and rabbits are a universal symbol of fertility. Many people visit Okazaki Shrine to pray to have a child and for a safe birth. **The bunny on the moon could also represent the Moon Rabbit, a mythical animal in ancient Chinese mythology. Plus, the coming year, 2023, is the year of the Rabbit.

I've had two Sakuraco boxes. Very nice (the chocolate bread a few months ago was amazing!). Had to stop for now due to cost, but hopefully pick them up again later.

What a great idea to put sharp stones on the bedroom floor so that people can appreciate more the convenience of going to the bathroom at night without slashing their feet and another great idea to make the floor of the second floor transparent so that people can experience the horror and thrill of falling down without actually falling down. Great video btw.

[@animeotaku307]

The transparent floor isn’t bad, but the rock floor is a dealbreaker for me.

[@Angultra]

I think the rocks look cool, pair of slippers and you'd be good.

The transparent floor is pretty cool. They should have also put transparent flooring over the rocks on the bottom floor it would both fit the aesthetics of the second floor and protect your feet from getting hurt.

[@Lake3015]

Went to Kyoto in October one year. It was just the right temp for me. The nights were perfect for walking along the riverbank. I would recommend to anyone going to Japan to check out Kyoto during the fall season.

[@jbtravelssolo7596]

spring time is better as the mountains and rivers are covered in cherry blossoms. The downside is that there is way too many tourists flooding the area especially during that time of the year and you must book your hotels 3-4 months in advance to get anything decent. However this next spring would probably great considering japan will just now be opening its borders without crazy conditions and thus the influx of tourists might be less.

[@mudstuff]

@@jbtravelssolo7596 I'd argue the opposite and that a lot of people have been wanting to visit for a very long time so it will be super busy. Hard to be sure though, time will tell! I've been before in spring and want to come out for autumn, I was booked to visit in November 2020 but obviously wasn't able to. I'm hoping to visit in autumn 2023

[@abbyabsB]

I agree, with it being so terribly touristy in the spring, I heartily recommend autumn. We went at the mid-end of November, just right for autumn in Tokyo. Temperatures are cool enough to enjoy cosy japanese food like ramen, and hot onsens, and Christmas lights are up

[@qadhafitsagifkadaroesman9679]

They opened two doors and I was instantly lost in this maze of a house. So well done, though. I love the slate bathroom, soft open/close pocket doors and the transparent floor was a nice touch. Hilarious that Emma didn't trust standing on it with Chris. Rough! Her..."swim dance" on it at the end was a nice touch, though. What a wonderfully posh day!

14:54 I was in Kyoto on the 4th of July. I LOVED it. Yes it was hot but after a few weeks of being in Japanese summer outside everyday you get used to it. Japanese summer evenings and nights are wonderful! Kyoto is really fun and beautiful. I appreciated how some locals even set off fireworks to celebrate an American holiday. It is a cool place

That apartment looks awesome! Probably hell to clean the pebbles room though. The kitchenette was cool, interesting idea for having extra space for prep. But you probably can't put that plank back on there after you use the electric cooker or you'd burn the wood The 月見 box was great! Especially the small plate, I'm using it as a coaster on my table and couldn't be happier! They have extra houseware(?) that you can get if you extend your subscription but I didn't get it, they look great though.

[@joshlo916]

What Chris didnt say was that Sharla was going to show up later :P But yes I have been to Kyoto but in March/Apirl for cherry blossom festival season. Tours the old palace. Saw a lots of folks dress up and renting gowns. Gorgeous!

[@zacharysnyder2520]

I have been to Kyoto but I was only about 15. It was beautiful. We saw all the shrines and the history but this is what I missed. The traditional but modern homes. The food by the river. As a lover of Japanese eel I’m jealous you have tried a type I had never heard of until now

Yeah haha I went to Japan on a school trip and it was to Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. And it was August 🥵 it was so hot… but for me it was the humidity that did me in! The air felt so heavy it was like I was struggling to breathe.. The first time I went to Japan was to the countryside Hyogo prefecture during fall and it was much more pleasant!

The hare moon is a Pagan symbol which originated in Medieval England. Whereas many cultures nowadays refer to the "man on the moon", a few centuries ago the image of a hare was in fact more commonplace - hence the name "hare moon". The hare is a symbol of regeneration, fertility, and magic in many ancient cultures

[@flipsilog_Gaming]

Jeez.. there's so much stuff and places to discover in Japan.. Wish I could go back there.. been there twice but just in Tokyo.. Hopefully I can go back there next year and bring my wife with me. 🤞😖🤞

I am from El Paso, Texas. 104 degree summers are the norm. I actually enjoyed Kyoto in late July 2019.

[@burasautumn2577]

well, to answer the questions of rabbits on the moon, it's an old folk tale of the Old man of the moon, who came down to Earth to test the kindness of 3 animals, a Monkey, a Fox and a Rabbit. Dressed as a beggar, Old Masn approached the animal friends by their campfire and asked them if they could spare him some food. Monkey offered him fruit, Fox offered him a fish, but Rabbit had nothing to offer so he offered himself and tried to jump into the fire so the beggar could eat him. Before the Rabbit made it into the fire, Old Man transformed into himself again and decided that the Rabbit, as the kind soul, will live with him on the moon. even tho the story is old, very old, to this day Japanese continue to celebrate the rabbits on the moon.

[@maxhirsch7035]

Central Japan IS hot in the summer, but in the early '00s I made two trips to Japan in August, both with a number of days in Kyoto- & as a NYer it wasn't terrible, actually really ok- often humid & in the high 80s. It really depends upon how you feel about hot summers - but a benefit of summer travel in Japan is fewer crowds of tourists than in spring and autumn. Also took an April trip to Kyoto back then, and for me, the summer was more magical there.

[@spzimefrk16]

Always love the advice of not coming to Japan in the summer, but as a teacher, summer and winter are the only times I can come lol and I did go to Kyoto...in August...it was horribly hot, but still worth it haha. We didn't eat along that river, but we did go for a walk there and found a bar nearby to chill at. When we can more freely travel again maybe I'll be able to do a short weekend as it's only a 2-ish hour flight away...it would be nice to go in Spring or Fall one day. Also watching these videos makes me want more and more to go back to Japan and see some new places!

Pontocho is one of my favorite places but I’ve always been there in the evening so it’s been relatively more comfortable. Really nice being outside and next to the river. Have to agree though going to Japan in the summer is not a pleasant experience. Not sure why more people don’t know this or how they possibly had the summer Olympics there.
