Watch this before you travel to Kyoto, Japan for some of the best tips and advice on places to eat, sights to see, things to do, places to stay and more. All while on a budget.
Come join us in part one of our adventure in Kyoto where we visit the Nishiki Market, Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine and the Yasaka Shrine in the Gion District.
First, we visit the Nishiki Market, which is known as “Kyoto’s Kitchen”. Make sure to come here with a very large appetite! There are five blocks with more than 100 shops and restaurants. It’s a very lively, busy market. There’s so much food to choose from, and a lot of it is affordable. Make sure to check the hours before you go because we almost missed it!
On our second day in Kyoto, we visit go to the Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine. This shrine is famous for the hundreds of red gates. It is so beautiful. Admission is free! This is one of my favorite shrines we visited in Kyoto. It is so beautiful. It was extremely busy when we were there, and it was only about ten in the morning. It opens at six in the morning, so my advice is to go as early as possible.
Next, we head to the Gion District, which is the most famous Geisha area. There are teahouses, restaurants, shrines and much more. We went here mainly to visit some shrines.
First, we visit the Yasaka Shrine. You will see a lot of people dressed in Kimonos here. It’s really cool because you can rent a kimono to wear for the day. This makes for amazing pictures at the shrines. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to rent one. Check online for the many places you can rent one for the day.
We continue our journey in Kyoto in my next vlog, but that is all for this one. Thanks for watching and please subscribe!
