Kyoto trip⛩️✨ft. my favorite ryokan in Japan!

My recommendation for the best value ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) in Kyoto, as well as some good food finds at Nishiki Market, and a look at the Snoopy Tea House and Kyoto Gyoen National Garden! Kyoto is my favorite place to get souvenirs.

✨Watch next!✨

The ryokan I featured in this video is Kyomachiya Ryokan Sakura Urushitei. They offer several types of rooms as well as activities. I try to make my Japan travel as cheap as possible, and this is the one thing I splurge on! Check them out here– https://www.kyoto-ryokan-sakura.com/urushi/ (this should go without saying given that I’m a small, unmonetized channel lol, but just so we’re clear, this isn’t sponsored; I’m just a happy guest☺️)

In the video I mention how Her Atlas introduced me to kai, which is the octopus I ate at Nishiki Market. Here’s her video featuring that and other Japan foods: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oqt4Sip0ooo

And a little side note… While I’m happier with how the colors look in this video (finally learning how to color correct😅), I’m still frustrated with my audio. Aside from my voice always croaking because of recovering from illness at the time, it’s the audio editing that’s the bane of my existence. I’ll have to focus on honing that skill next!
