3 CRUCIAL TIPS to SURVIVE Kyoto like a PRO!

Yo, if you wanna dodge the crowds, hit up the popular spots in Kyoto at the crack of dawn or in the afternoon when the tour buses bounce. But for a lit experience, go at night! Fushimi Inari hack: skip the small entrance gates, hit up the first opening, do a U-turn, and boom—no crowds and the dopest photos. Rent an electric bike 'cause public transport sucks and gets hella packed. Trust me, it's easy, safe, and mad fun. Bonus tip: Use Skyscanner's multi-city search to fly into Tokyo and out of Osaka—closest airport to Kyoto, saving you that Shinkansen ticket back to Tokyo. Epic travel hacks, fam!

Something to add, you can still take great photos even if you wake up late.

Sleep well. Dont let your health suffer just to avoid the crowds.

Enjoy Japan, I loved it! 🥰

We also did the turning around at Fushimi Inari... but another really good tip is: go further up the hill nearly noone did it. So that we had a lot of space and really nice foto spots

Ooooo I never thought about going at night and bike sounds good. ☺

Unfortunately most of Kyoto closes at 5 PM, sometimes even 4 PM. Fushimi Inari is the one thing that is open 24/7 so that's a good one to see at night. Most of the big shrines and temples will close much earlier.

Renting a bike isn’t something I thought of but damn is that a good idea. Thank you!🙏

Public transport is not great? I've been in Kyoto for a few months now and the public transport is very reliable and efficient. Yeah sometimes it's crowded but there's so many bus, subway, and train routes available and they are almost never late. Not that expensive either.

[ps]

Would you rather fly within Japan or take a train?

I’ve seen so many shorts saying go early morning or later afternoon, so now everyone will go early morning and it’ll be busy anyway 😆

Tip 4: when You're taller than everyone, don't bounce around like a crazy person lol
Just stay bowing to make them feel safer

The little trinket shops aren't open at night. Gotta get some omamari charms. The Buddha praying beads have a picture of the temple when you look inside

First you shouldn’t skip hop on the street, it’s akward in Japan😅

[Mwoods]

Push everyone out of the way, is another good tip.
