Explore Kyoto Japan’s Most Iconic Travel Destinations: Fushimi Inari, Kinkaku-ji & Nijo Castle
Good morning, guys. Welcome to another vlog. [Music] So, in this video, we’re going to explore Kyoto. I’m currently still here in my hotel room. I’m going to go have breakfast in a bit, and I’ll show you what they have here. So, I’m going to meet up with my friend Ivan. So, we’re going to explore Kyoto together. But first, let’s go have breakfast. [Music] What’s up, guys? Finally leaving the hotel. Uh my friend Ivan is here. Okay, guys. So, our first destination is Shimi Inari. So, uh, we have to take the train. Not sure how long it takes to get there, but I think he knows. Okay, guys. We’re now here at the Gojo station. So, we have to take the train from Gojo station to Gujo station, guys. So, when you take the train, make sure when you see this, for example, Kasuma line, make sure you look at what’s on the side. Tada. So, you can just look over there. See how it says cicada? You look for that cuz if you go here, that’s going to the other way. [Music] All right, guys. So, we made it to our first stop, Oshimiari. It is packed here, guys. Look. Wow. super packed and super hot. [Music] So, today is Tuesday and I think these kids are having their field trip over here. By the way, guys, I’m actually wearing my flip-flops today because my blisters are super super bad. I couldn’t wear sneakers anymore. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] Okay, guys. I think this is the end. Like a dead end. I’m not sure. Well, actually, you know what? I’m wrong. You could keep going that way. This This guy’s vlogging. You there? Are you vlogging? Uh, I’m I’m I’m practicing. I’m practicing for my for my vlog. You’re vlogging. I’m vlogging. I’m practicing for my future channel. A lot of material at the moment. I will do some editing once that I get some. [Music] [Music] [Music] We’re having a little shade break cuz it’s so hot, guys. So, that’s the Tory gates over there. And then we’re just here currently. Check this out. Not sure what this is exactly, to be honest. Oh, look at that big ass fish. Can you see that? There’s one more over there. Fishy spiders. I feel so many. Wow. They’re just chilling there. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Okay, guys. So, we’re finally finished here. We were there for about at least 2 hours, right? Or almost. Yes. Where’s our next destination? It will be Kinkakuji Temple. All right. So, that’s about like an hour away from here. So, we’re going to take the train. We’re walking towards the station right now. It’s a 7-minute walk and then another 45 minutes uh train ride. All right, let’s go. [Music] This time this time [Music] this time. [Music] So, we just arrived at what station are we at? It’s uh that’s okay. So, yeah, I figured out we are in Kyoto station. So, now we have to take the JR line to get to the next destination. There are a lot of locker rentals here at the Kyoto station. Look, so if you’re already checked out at your hotel and then you want to go around Kyoto some more before your next train ride, you can leave your luggage here and then go around and then come back. That’ll be easier instead of like going back to your hotel, get your luggage, come here. So, it’s better if you just leave it here. Well, it’s up to you. But that’s just an option for you. Look at this train, guys. Look inside. Looks so nice. like business class inside. This is our train. So, this is our train just came. It says Saga Aryama. Look where we’re going. Guys, we’re currently in the bus. So, if you want to take the bus, you can still use your card. So, we just got off the bus. To be honest with you, I don’t know where we’re at. I’m just following my friend. He wanted to go to this shrine. I’m not sure if it’s a shrine or a temple, but yeah, let’s go check it out. So, I think it’s about 5 minutes walk from here, but I like this area. There’s a lot of tourists, but it looks very local. All right, this is the entrance. We made it. There’s a map over there, guys, but it’s all in Japanese. So, you can use Google Translate if you want to. I’m so tired. And it’s 1:00 right now and the sun is just like on its peak. It’s really hot and humid. [Music] So, the ticket is 500 yen to get in and then they’ll give you this. Guys, look, I’m sweating. [Music] Guys, look how beautiful it is here. Can you see that? It looks amazing. Very Japan. There’s an area here where you can pray. [Music] Wow, so hot, guys. Haggarded AF. pretty tired right now. FML three times. Guys, look at the detail. Check out the roof. I’m not sure what this is to be honest. Just a typical Japanese home. Not sure. But look at that. It’s like bamboos piled up together. This is where you can pray also. And over here there’s a souvenir shop, but no cameras allowed. So I can go in there. [Music] So good right now. So we’re currently at Yoshinoya right now. We’re trying to order. See, English beef bowl recommended menu. Let’s try this. Oh, this one looks good. Maybe this or this. Let me know what you think compared to the US. Well, the US is trash, but I ordered the beef bowl. Gudon, I think, plus extra meat. Taste test. First, let’s see what he has. He has cheese. Yeah, yours is with cheese. Mine is with cheese. When was the last time you had Yoshinoya? Better than my Is it good? Better than the US? Definitely. M. Pretty good. M. Really good. I’ll give this a 9 out of 10. How about you? I’ll give it a um nine out of 10, too. The cheese it gives a little something something. It’s a real pain in the application. Okay. Okay. Okay. Have a good night. cuz I must. All right, we made it to our third destination, right? What’s the name? MO Castle. Mitch Castle. She tried to charge me again. You said that, didn’t it? Yeah. So, it’s now currently 3 3 p.m. This is where we’re going. It’s called Mij Castle. Nigo. It looks really nice here, not going to lie. But it’s really, really hot. Okay, you guys. So, 1,300 yen to get in. All right, let’s go. So, this vlog is going to be super super long now cuz we went to three places already and I think we’re going to go to another place after here. So, maybe there’s going to be a part two in this. [Music] All right, you guys. We just got out from there. I couldn’t take any videos. It wasn’t allowed. So, so no clips there. But I’m going in here now. This is like the garden area. Looks pretty nice. By the way, inside is huge. We went around this whole entire building. Look at this guy with his flag. Look at that. Show me your flag, bro. [Music] So, [Music] [Applause] all right, guys. So, this garden here is insanely beautiful. Even better in real life than in the video. Look at this. You know what? I like this better than the previous place where we went to. Maybe because it’s a lot less hotter right now and the water here is so much clearer compared to the other one. But that one’s really nice, too. But look at this, guys. Amazing. By the way, guys, look at the detail of this palace. Look at that roof. Crazy. [Music] So I need [Music] [Music] check out this door. Check out this view, guys. It never ends. So nice. Not sure if it’s nice in the video, but in real life it’s really nice. We’re walking up. Hopefully the view is worth it. I think it is. Look. [Music] Yeah. [Music] Yeah. [Music] [Music] [Music] Look at this bike. There’s no lock at all. Look, it’s so safe here. [Music] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thanks so much.
