Last November, I was sent to Kyoto as the online ambassador for a campaign called EnjoyJapanPH (KrisTV’s The Japan Diary is also part of the same project), which basically aims to broaden and open the doors of Japan to the Filipino community. You can find their Facebook here:
I couldn’t be any happier when EnjoyJapanPH chose me to take part in this project, moreso when they sent me to Japan to cover Kyoto during the peak of autumn (mid November). Visiting Kyoto during fall (and just before my birthday, no less) has always been one of my ultimate dreams, so this trip was easily my most memorable trip of 2014.
When people ask me about my favorite place in Japan, I always answer Kyoto. I’ve been to other famous places in Japan (Tokyo and Osaka included) enough to be 100% sure about my answer. Kyoto just trumps all in my book. It was the capital of Japan for more than a thousand years, so you can just imagine how deep and rich the tradition and culture is in this place.
I was able to take some video while I was there (alone), so I made a simple compilation to supplement my existing travel diaries on 😀

The campaign will have its culminating event this coming Saturday, February 7! Your attendance just might win you a free trip to Japan! 😀
