Great video HH Japan. Kyoto looks great.

[julie_teefs]

I really appreciate how honest this vid is compared to others! I’m heading there in a few months so I’m really glad I came across your video 😊

[evelyn]

This was a great guide! I was expecting you to list all the other temples and sites everyone else does in their videos but there were a few places you mentioned that had definitely flown under the radar for me. If I get a chance to visit Kyoto a second time, I'll consider going to them :)

[dorisloveskeno]

Such beautiful photography love watching your videos 👍😊

[chriscraver]

Beautiful videos. I want some of that shrimp please ❤

[TYup-crpk]

This is so beautiful and helpful!! Thank you so much

[llorylloyd]

WOW I didn't realize there could be so many temples in one location.

[melgordon]

Is kiyomizu-dera quiet late afternoon?

[nikolaigensitskii]

Hey guys, I haven't found a link for a bike renting. Could you please put the link?

[toubeelo]

Was that really the top of the hike? We went in March, and I remember seeing a good view of the entire city. I do remember that part where y'all ended up at, but I also remember going beyond it to go higher.

EDIT: So, there were different paths at one point where there were also benches, and y'all took the one where it led to where y'all ended at. I think the path closest to those benches would've led y'all to a nice viewpoint of the entire city with some mountains beyond it.

[towada]

hmmm, ... personally, I would have chosen Shimogamo Shrine and hiking up to Doshisha Cemetery ...

[stevie]

How many days did you guys take to visit all those places? If you’re visiting a few on them in one day, did you guys just walk?

[ruthuu]

Thanks for the guide. I don't appreciate the attitude tho. I get that it's just "a joke" or just something said out of embarrassement or whatever, but why shout boring when you couldn't lift the log? Pretty offensive imo, like sort yourself out, why blame the thing. It's not that deep, I know. But it's still a legit place of worship, and a cultural treasure, so maybe exercising some amount of respect is the wiser thing to do?
