Kyoto is one of the most beautiful and popular cities in Japan, and during the busy tourist season it can be absolutely packed! In this video, while I enjoy the festive crowd for cherry blossoms, I tried 3 ways to enjoy Kyoto during the busy season without having to be overwhelmed by the crowds. Off the beaten path, Temple at 6 am …
Kyoto can be busy during the peak season, but there are always places and moments to have a tranquil time to enjoy the break from your daily busy life.

Heading to Kyoto in a few weeks. Thanks for the tips!
Awesome video. I'll be back in Kyoto next month so I will definitely be visiting these quiet places by the rivers.
Going there for the first time next week, thanks exploring some of the quieter areas.
Kengo-san, what’s the best way to try to meet local Japanese that know a little English?
I’ll be in Tokyo and all over Kyushu in May. I’m staying in guesthouses and planning to find walking tours and less touristy restaurants and bars.
It’s fun meeting other travelers, but even more so having chats with locals.
I only know about 10 words in Japanese 😂.
Will the monkeys get angry if you take pictures of them?
What months or season is busy season? How about in late September.
Another great video Ken Chan. Thank you for showing the stunning beauty of Kyoto during the Cherry Blossom season. We’ll be visiting Japan next month and Kyoto is part of our itinerary. We look forward to see some places you have shown in this video and in other past videos.
Thanks for sharing this video. I will be staying in Kyoto in a couple of weeks and I can't wait to visit. It looks so beautiful.
I visited Kyoto last winter but I only stay in Kyoto Station area. This June, I will go to Hokkaido and Sakado.
As always, very informative video from the lens of a local expert! I 1000% agree that Kyoto has the power to heal you! Very very useful tips you got here kengo san! You're the best guide! (love the background music btw!)
Great video! Was just there in January, I miss it already, can't wait to go back!
Domo Arigato Ken San..I hope and wish that I could randomly bump into you while you are filming ..will be in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto next week..a follower of you and your helpful blogs…Thanks again..
Very nice video kenchan.. woah ive been to Kyoto once but the places you visit are amazingly quiet. Sughoi! I agree with you, the earlier the better, less stress. 🙃
This will be a great reference when I return to Japan. You visited many sites and put in so much work to produce one video. You are one of the best. Salute from Perú.
Thank you for your tips. I used them during my 3 days in Kyoto last week and had an amazing time.
Somethings cannot be Searched for , only Discovered .
" when it's Fate , there is no coincidence ".
the Season of Cherry Blossom 🌸 is the Time of Dreams ,
the Tears of a Dreamcatcher are Precious ,
the fall of the Cherry Blossom Petals 🌸,
is as the fall of the tears of the Dreamcatcher " ,
catch the petal , catch the tear , catch the Dream and make a wish ⭐✨🌠,
Thank you for the tips on transportation in your earlier videos. It has helped us during our trip. We just came back from Kyoto during the Sakura full bloom. It was a really beautiful city with Sakura trees almost everywhere and every tree is beautiful on its own.
Thank you Ken Chan! If it's possible, could you share a map of where these places are please? I cannot find the stone bridge that you put near the start of the video.
Great tips, Ken-chan!
To be honest, I didn't like Kyoto as I was expecting when I visit it for the first time.
I don't know if it was because I got some raining days or because it had so many tourists.
I think that this tips will help me to enjoy more the city! I'll totally use them on my next trip!
Thanks a lot for this video! You rock!
So stunning 😮 I have only planned one day for Kyoto 😅 Fortunately for me I can simply use one of my four days in Osaka in case I crave for more 😄. Lake Biwa seems like an excellent side route for a day, so I'll definetly visit it. I do hope to spot a wild monkey though 😆
Travel excitement is getting to me, it's just a week and some hours and I will arrive at Tokyo.
I could not find yamashina sosui on goggle maps any tips how to get from yamashina station to that place shown in the video?
Kyoto its My favorite city in Japan. I wish I can see it now when the cherry blossoms has flowers. Thank you for sharing 😊
Kenchan !! Finally is today!! 🎉🎉 I'm arriving the 12th!! Time to watch all your videos once again!
Thanks for another informative video. We just got back from very beautiful Japan. We immensely enjoyed our vacation. Your videos helped a lot.
