The Perfect 3 Day Kyoto, Japan Itinerary

[@aegisarmory]

You make an incredible tour guide! I can't wait to go to Kyoto one day.

[@StayMellowBeEasy]

Just in time! I’m currently planning for my Japan trip!

[@JapanMediaTour]

Wow I'm really impressed by this vlog! You're a great presenter! Gioji Temple is one of my favourite spots too. I also appreciate the Dragonball and Pokemon references.

[@heaththompson6034]

Great video, Alyssa! All your videos really make me miss Japan. I've only been able to visit Kyoto once on previous visits. But after your video, I definitely will be spending more time in Kyoto in the future, and checking out your recommendations.

[@TanukiDigital]

The train to Arashiyama might be a better choice (next time!) You can take it from Shijo/Kawaramachi, with just one transfer at Katsura.

[@RaymondwLin]

Having been to Kyoto 4 times now, this is a very good 3 day itinerary and i have NEVER seen Kiyomizu dera that empty…I went at 5pm last April and it was shoulder to shoulder with people.

[@jchcmax]

I had a day trip there. Def need more days to enjoy!

[@Lyssakay]

One day is not enough for sure!

[@specialk9999]

Great video! That’s great that your sister got to visit you. Hope she had a wonderful trip to Japan. There’s Uniqlos on the west coast, not sure about TX though.

@19:00 if you get another chance to visit fushimi inari taisha, make it a night visit to avoid the crowds and give it a creepy otherworldly feel, while next to the safety of a city :p

[@jasondiiorio2623]

I visited last year during January / February and loved how quiet and empty it was. Going this year during peak season and I'm really nervous about it so this is a great refresher on the highlights. thank you

[@thomasedwards6641]

I didn't know how good the view was when walking the shrine and was such a pleasant surprise as I had been told what the top was like.

[@Highwind2013]

aww these sites are amazing! thank you for showing us Alyssa! and hoping your sister is having a great time visiting Japan! 😊

[@helenstratigos4862]

Really enjoyed this tour! A lovely balance of activities, beauty, and chill. You and your sister are adorable - I can see the cute resemblance! Hope she enjoyed her first experience in Kyoto! 💗

[@Ditronus.]

Nice! My wife and I might be coming there in June. Heard June and July were the worst times to come, but they were the only times we had 😢. Hopefully the rain and heat mean less crowds. Thanks for the video!

[@Lyssakay]

Don't worry too much about coming in June or July! Even though Kyoto is not as empty as the winter months the summer is not nearly as crowded as spring and fall! Also if you are coming in summer you should look into going to Kibune! It is located up in the mountains and has river dining that is only available in the summer months! Honestly it's my favorite thing to do in Kyoto!

[@Ditronus.]

@@Lyssakay awesome, I'll look into that. Thanks!

[@kurofune.uragabay]

That's the eggiest okonomiyaki I've ever seen 😅 Thanks for sharing this visit to your old haunts 🙇‍♂

[@stevew2926]

thanks for all your pro tips and giving us hope of catching kyoto without getting crushed by tourists! you both really do look alike kawaii!!

[@TheMyahChannel]

I live close to Kyoto so I always adventure around!!! Love it

[@dodiatkins4515]

Hello from SanDiego. 😊

[@vernonmontoya2449]

Enjoyed this video. You've certainly developed your own vlog style. I look forward to your videos each week. Keep it up!

[@WayneSeco]

Another clearly explained and informative video. You’ve got a knack for this! Keep them coming!

[@foresterKK]

雨の京都も風情があって良いですね（混雑も少なくて）。　次の動画も楽しみにしています。

[@yellobird5682]

Hello from kyoto,Japan. In Shinto, an ancient Japanese religion, mountains are considered sacred places, not just places to hike, so there are many Shinto shrines in the mountains. The Fushimi Inari Taisha shrine you climbed is the headquarters of the popular Inari Taisha shrines that exist throughout Japan. It is more than just a hiking spot, as Shinto deities are believed to reside beyond the torii gate. Historically, the shrine of rice has become "rice bears" → "does not starve" → "prosperous business" and is still an important shrine that many people from all over Japan visit to pray.

[@kymo82]

Can you please made a video about Shimokitazawa or Koenji areas, I want to travel there

[@silverian]

05:26 - 05:33 Nijojo-mae Sta.(Nijo-jo Castle) to Higashiyama Station (Tozai Line Local Rokujizo) Yasaka Shrine Kiyomizu-Dera Fushimi Inari Taisha (hike up and back ~ 3 hours) Day 2 05:38 - 05:47 Nijo Station - Saga-Arashiyama Station (San-In Line Local Sonobe) Arashiyama Bamboo Grove What do you think?

[@pauld2810]

That was fun!

[@franciswax]

luv your beanie!!!

[@justmejus]

I was looking at Google maps. Can someone please help me find where the first bus stop is that was mentioned at 14:15? I'm planning my trip to Japan. :) Thanks so much! This video is so helpful.

[@LeaderMaxOne]

thanks for the video! do you mind sharing the hotel you stayed at? looks like you got a super convenient location in shijo/pontocho!

[@Lyssakay]

It’s called Gozen Hotel & Serviced Apartment!

[@antoinealfawdaa]

Kyoto is always warmer because of the dragon underneath. Maybe there's no dragon and maybe it's not always warmer. Amazing trick, you got both..said margarita . I know maybe it wasn't a trick. River runs but you stay, sometime but not always.

[@miriamritter-p3x]

Could you please share the link of the vegetarian izakaya, can't find it. Thanks Miriam

[@Zumama2]

Was the temple so empty only because of the rain? That's just amazing

[@Lyssakay]

I think it was a combo of it being in winter (Kyoto's off season), in the rain, and close to closing time, honestly the perfect storm.

[@heythave]

Hey, which hotel did you stay in?

[@aresgalamatis7022]

@5:00 sister wins ;)

[@Lyssakay]

Haha honestly she usually does!

[@kathi1987]

[@danwong2191]

Puzzled, I took the local train rather than the bus but I like walking

[@vtec73]

what your sister think about japan?

[@Lyssakay]

She loved it! She loves nature so she loved Kyoto in particular!

[@edtomorrow]

I’m usually one to keep my yap shut but I just couldn’t help my self this time. IMHO it would look significantly better if you looked into the lens and not the flip screen when talking directly to the camera. 😬 shitsurishimasu 🙏

[@HushedHermit]

Never trust a cute map!

[@Undersizedutopia]

Please stop posting videos. I only have 2 weeks in Japan and you’re making my itinerary way too long
