Welcome back to our Channel guys Al Japan Adventures Continue and in today’s Vlog we are smashing Koto in just one day on a $100 budget we just paid 100 yen for this huge glass so if you’re on a budget but still want to experience the best things that Kyoto has to offer
Then this video is for you expect Capal hotels street food historical districts good coffee arcades and fire aren in our previous Vlogs we were exploring the snowy Japanese app so first we need to get to Koto we made it tooto so this morning we are off to Niki
Market which by the way is a five block long shopping Street full of over a 100 shops and restaurants and it’s also known as The Kyoto kitchen so it is a very well-known Market maret in Kyoto we have no doubt it’s going to be super
Busy but I think that’s all part of the atmosphere most of the shops open around 10:00 and we’re heading there at 10:15 so let’s go try some food it is that Time I actually forgot how big how long this place is every single shop and every single restaurant is side by side sandwiched in offering a wide variety of everything imaginable there’s a lot of fresh food on the ghost so you got all these different Aromas of different types of fish meat skewers
Desserts and I think at one end there’s also some shops as well and we cannot wait to take you on this journey with us down this street all right we just walked past the store and the smell is amazing and I thought it looked like custard inside and it is and our
Favorite is custard so we’re going to go get one and it’s in the shape of the fish oh my God how the custard that is banging there’ll be no complaining that they’re not Cooks thank you oh you can smell the smokiness in here all right I’m going in fresh grilled scatter Like a soy sauce much flavor all right so busy here there’s just like so many different smells happening at one time from seafood dishes to tea to like sweet things I don’t I don’t know what I want to smell more it’s just a massive concoction of yumminess so again for a
Smooth sweet bean paste treat look at that about the strawberry First it’s got like a paste in it this sweet bean I can’t even describe the taste but it’s really my face it’s everywhere it’s so funny I tell you what it weighs an absolute ton one is enough between two people this is so heavy and dense really Good look at these tempora deep fried King crns she smothered them in salt as well I’m so excited for this they’ve literally just been deep fried oh that the best yet look at that it doesn’t get better than this honestly we need nearly didn’t get any but we saw
Someone eating it on the S I was like we have to get that so good recommended for those who like alcohol we’re going mild it’s early wow it’s a big bottle big bottle think we’ll share this oh my God that’s a big glass amazing so if you didn’t know sake is
The drink of Japan and we just paid 100 yen this huge glass I thought she was going to give me like a tiny bit so James you’re going to have to help me ready need to try it it’s so nice quite fru delicious smells strong it’s only what 11:00 in the
Morning it’s such an easy drink though like it’s really smooth for those of you that haven’t tried sake before it’s kind of like a gin mixed with almost like a white wine it’s a really hard taste to describe this this is actually really light so actually for 11:00 in the
Morning it’s not too bad we don’t feel too guilty we are now heading towards the very famous District of gon check out this building we’re on the home stretch we are almost at gon and I can actually see right at the end of this road our first stop which is at yaka
Shrine we’ made it to you Saka shrine we actually came here 3 years ago but we weren’t too lucky with the weather because it was shucking it down with rain it’s not raining which is even better it is a weekend but it’s not as
Busy as I thought it was going to be and it’s just as beautiful as we Remember so we are super lucky that we just saw that wedding I was just saying to James I remember that they actually do weddings here and remember H we turn around and literally see a wedding about to happen we’re just super lucky that we came here and witness that it’s such a
Unique experience oh everything from the ceremony to the gowns everything amazing to watch and we have just found what we think is cherry blossom now we might be wrong it might be plum blossom but either way it’s absolutely spectacular and very unexpected because we are here before Cherry bossing season about 3
Weeks before so the fact that we haven’t even seen any pink flowers on the tree is amazing special we’re back in one of our favorite places in Kyoto it’s the guon district you can already tell when you start getting closer because the buildings start getting more and more old beautiful traditional the streets
Start getting very very narrow oh it’s literally right there I wasn’t expecting that we’ve arrived to the famous paga and there’s a car coming and there’s a car coming so we’ve made it to hokanji Temple which is probably one of the most famous pagodas in
The this is like how I want my bedroom one day just like nice simple linen FL in the wind no how she said I want my bedroom not our bedroom our bedroom darling so the further you walk away from the Pagoda the better the angles are because
You just have almost like half of gon in the shot and it’s also the famous shet where everyone comes here to get their Instagram shot as well got to do it got to be done so when we very first came to Japan we did the exact same thing and
Dressed up as make and Samurai and it was probably one of our favorite experiences in Japan you can pay to essentially dress up from makeup to hair they even painted my hair black so it Blended in with the wig that they put on and obviously get dressed up in the full
Outfit it is such an incredible experience and they really encourage tourists to do this when you’re here even if you just get dressed up in like the local clothing like the kimonos because it’s just the perfect way to really soak up the traditions and true
Culture of this place and if we had more time we would do it this time as Well I think coffee is definitely big in Kyoto like there were never this many coffee shops the last we were here there seems to be a lot more kind of new cool hip ones I love it this one sells shoes as well as you do in a coffee shop I’m
Like smelling the coffee beans coffees is it okay to have in one day without going crazy you only had one I mean we do at least two more right obviously let’s go so Alex has found a place called The anir Coffee senses hope is a good one check it out good as you
Are how nice is it’s amazing amazing oh my God okay the find of the century this is awesome this is amazing I God Perfect this year it’s only been like a couple of hours and somehow so many more peop basically get here early even on a weekend because it does make a difference so we’ve left gon cuz we are on the hunt for some delicious go Chow chowa amazing chowchow guoa has been high on
Our food list for some time and the fact that it’s won awards for the signature gas was a big sale for us we went for their cabar Ranchi set 16 pieces of their award-winning goo an additional choice of three different goers a side dish and a beit for just 1700 yen
Just check out these bad boys this is what we came for fresh and housemade with this unique crispy layer covering the whole of one side that you almost have to crack apart and the other side is so soft with this meaty goodness we also went for the shrimp Goos which
Again were absolutely banging so this chain originated in Osaka but now has locations all over Japan definitely save this spot for your Kyoto visit I’m so happy that was such an amazing experience we are so full with amazing food and the staff were fantastic walking away very happy but a bit thirsty number
Five let’s go see our room or I should say room I should say capture I’m intrigued so we have our own beds we have our own beds I thought we’d be sharing so when we booked we thought we booked one of these as like because we
Knew it was a double bed but we’ve got one each opposite each other this is awesome this is like the most surreal capsu experience we’ve ever had in Japan first and foremost they give you these iPod Touches now this essentially is your holy grow you do not lose these
Because it’s 25,000 Yen if you do the actual iPod Touch itself is essentially a remote this remote if I’m not mistaken operates the bed now we’re ready for party time there’s even a button here to make the bed rotate and vibrate yeah baby maybe that’s an upgrade that you have to pay
Additional money for this even allows you to operate the lights and then if you click on the home button it gives you information about the actual hostel itself your luggage actually goes underneath the bed and if you want to lock away any valuables there actually a lockable safe right on the bottom right
Right hand side it’s even got a mirror to get yourself ready in the morning enough plug points to power everything you could ever wish for USB charger for your phone more shelving space more plug sockets and hangers for your jackets good night so at check in we were given one
Bag each and in here I believe are some goodies a towel slippers earplugs a razor toothbrush a comb a cotton Bud set that’s everything the best thing is breakfast is included in this room and the even better thing is we get free beer between 5:30 and 6:30 every day
That is a big win in terms of toilet facilities there are 1 2 3 four toilets every single toilet is a Japanese toilet and if you know what I mean you know what I mean but they are very clean three basins with three big mirrors and now moving into into the shower Section
1 2 3 four showers as well as a bathtub yes there is a bath Tob and of course a shower head and if we take a look in some of the showers a shower head here and a rainfall shower complimentary toiletries they’ve even got a basket to
Put all of your clothing in and then you have even more basins five basins all well lit perfect vanity and laundry blows my mind how good these captal hotels are at absolutely fantastic men backa fire Ramen no Ramen no Life Okay Again so hot All right 100 yen kiss it thanks guys it’s got it it’s got it it’s got it it’s got it it’s got it yes oh my God I knew we’d get it I’m so happy our Japanese Adventure is complete no pressure Alex it’s looking good it’s going to push him [Laughter] over yeah boy
