We Found the Most Unique Experiences in Kyoto, Japan
Join us as we explore Kyoto through a mix of hands-on experiences and centuries-old traditions, starting at the Ninja Dojo & Store where we learn real ninja techniques, try weapons, and get a glimpse into the skills and history behind Japan’s legendary spies before browsing a shop packed with ninja gear. We then experience the Gion Festival, one of Kyoto’s most important cultural events, rooted in ancient rituals meant to protect the city and pray for health and safety, as the streets come alive with summer energy. Next, we visit Kiyomizu-dera, founded in 778, a historic temple famous for its dramatic wooden stage built entirely without nails, offering sweeping views of Kyoto and surrounded by seasonal beauty. We end the day at Fushimi Inari’s Senbon Torii, founded in 711, walking through thousands of vivid red torii gates that form winding tunnels through the forested mountainside, each one donated as a prayer for prosperity and success.

Ninja clothes are much more cool looking than karate uniform. The thousand vermilion torii gates are absolutely iconic – once seen, never forgotten!
You should have brought ice cold water with you – wouldn't get me going out in 36 degrees temps without some. I'M HOT!🥵[drinks freezing-cold water] I'M COLD!🥶
Ninja skills would have come in handy in Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong (before it was demolished). Watch "Kowloon Walled City, Hong Kong. 1990 Rob Frost".
Shohei Ohtani is Japanese, but plays for the LA Dodgers. So much of sport works like that now – just buy the players you want from around the world and pretend they're from your country and city. For me, that makes sports teams meaningless. Even if you like a few of the players, they could move to other teams at a later date. Do you then support those teams instead?
You just end up in a situation where those with the deepest pockets dominate the game – it's why English football, for example, has been ruined.
Part 2 of "Shohei Ohtani": Formula One racing is similar – money influences the design and technological sophistication of the cars, such that the best cars are always out in front, and so races have become boring as result. The cars go round the circuit, lap after lap – there's little overtaking and absolutely no excitement. 😴🛌
Tennis is less influenced by money (at least not directly), but the rackets are now so advanced technologically, and big, that the game has also been ruined. The players stay at the back of the court and hit the ball back and forth at 500 mph while grunting loudly. 😴🛌
