On our second day exploring Kyoto, Japan, we wandered around the gorgeous Gion district and discovered some of the city’s most incredible shrines and temples along the way. It’s amazing how different this place is early in the morning before the crowds arrive.

Eventually, we walked over to the Higashiyama district, and into downtown Kyoto, where things are very different to Gion. We stumbled across the strangest Japanese arcade store, found a busy food street and finally figured out how to use our Kyoto Suica cards.

In part 2 of our Kyoto travel vlog we share some of our tips and advice for things to do in Kyoto, and if it’s going to be your first time here we’re sure you’ll find some useful information. With a 3-day Kyoto itinerary, there’s so much to see and do. We hope you enjoy it!
