kyoto, japan vlog 🇯🇵 | fushimi inari, nishiki market, & arashiyama

hello beautiful people!
In this video, my friends and I spend 3 days exploring Kyoto! I loved everything about Kyoto and might even like it more than Tokyo. The old traditional buildings, the temples, and the food were all amazing! Arashiyama was my favorite area of Kyoto. Our next stop in Japan is Osaka!
