  1. This is soooooo good. This February will be my first ever time visiting the Kansai region and this has given me so many great things to plug into my 4 day Kyoto itinerary! Arigato KenChan!!

  2. Also, really loving the complete and full narration of the video. You're getting better and better!

  3. That's very good information for the people will go to Kyoto. We love Kyoto. The busses not that great there. Thumb up👍

  4. Thanks for the great videos, they have been very helpful for planning my trip and you have become my favourite youtuber form Japan along with Abroad in Japan. If you need video ideas you can maybe make a video about the different type of restaurants (all you can eat, omakase, izakaya, etc… ), or a video about omiyage and other classic gifts, and a day trip to see the chreito pagoda and kawaguchiko, and maybe a video about you also so the people get to know you.
    These are just ideas to help you out, your channel should be much bigger than it is 😀 keep the content coming success will come to you my friend.

  5. Hey, Kengo-san, what a superb video this is! I enjoyed your walking tour on the first part (such lovely rivers and streams – and they are clean!) and I am also interested in the manga museum! I must say that the bamboo forest and the rock garden would be my go-to places if I'll visit Kyoto. Congratulations for a knowledge-packed video, Kengo-san!! 🙂

  6. Thank you so much for all these vids! They're all super helpful and id be using your vids for my next trip to Japan.
