We spent Day 2 in Kyoto, Japan exploring the neighborhood of Higashiyama, which I think is the most beautiful neighborhood in Kyoto! This Japan travel vlog was made in 2022 right after Japan opened. We visited many of the highlights such as Kiyomizudera, Ninenzaka, Sannenzaka, and other places off the beaten path. We drank coffee at Starbucks built into a traditional Japanese building. We ate many famous Japanese street foods such as mitarashi dango, green tea buns, sweet potatoes, and drank matcha.

There are 2 Studio Ghibli stores in the area that we also visited. Keep your eye out for “gatchapon” (capsule toy machines) where you can get some amazing anime related souvenirs. We had a delicious dinner of Curry Udon and Japanese Curry with Karaage that was all VEGAN! These neighborhoods look even more beautiful lit up at night such as “Ponto-cho Alley”.
