Why is this channel so underrated? 😭 I mean they seriously post one of the best videos
It’s a question I ask myself regularly. 🤩
Very well done videos!
Agree. I think now that the borders are about to open, channels like this will see a HUGE boom in subscribers and viewers.
Beautiful places Hokanji tenryuji , fushimi, nara park and Arashiyama
@@SuitcaseMonkey keep up the Beautiful Work : New subscriber:)
It’s so interesting to get a visual walk through of places I’ve been to before. It’s like a real nostalgia trip.
Saving this for my trip!!
Thanks for sharing. This is the great introduction of Kyoto!! 👍
Thanks!! Another fantastic video. We loved Kyoto & Osaka, thanks to the blogs you made previously.
This is so informative! Thank you so much!
One cannot help but fall in love with Kyoto.. Such a beautiful country, rich in nature and culture. Great guide to the must visit places in the city....................
Beautiful city. I cannot wait to go back. Thank you for sharing
Wow! Awesome video! I definitely have to visit. Thank you for sharing.
It's a nice place to look at like this! ! ! !
Love this video! Thank you for sharing
I would highly recommend Hotel Granvia Kyoto, it’s located in Kyoto station and it made getting around a whole lot easier. We spent 7 days in Kyoto, and made day trips to Osaka, Hiroshima, and Nagoya using the JR Pass.
I am planning to go to most of these places. Aside from nara and some temples. It's nice to see them in video format. Can't wait to go
This video is so informative. Thanks for the tour 🤩
Love these videos me and my wife are heading out to Japan in June great insight into Japan 🇯🇵 for us thank you
It's a bright and beautiful video.
明るく美しい動画です。(^^♪
It's already been more than 10 years since I traveled to Kyoto.
I want to go to Kyoto again.
Thank you for the good video.

Thanks for sharing this! This definitely helped us. We took a bunch of notes for our upcoming trip!
Thank you so much for this video! Planning a trip in April of this year and have watched soooo many videos and stressed myself out. Your video was by far one of the most helpful. If you don't mind, I'm borrowing your itinerary. 😅Thank you again!!☺
Thank you for all the great suggestions! This has given me a lot of great ideas for my trip 😄
Thank you for this video

Japan is the best..Is there anywhere else such a beautiful country? Very clean...very peaceful environment..in 2018 was in Japan for a few days..Japanese people are very polite and helpful..Japanese people are very fortunate to live in such a country..i always pray ''let me have a chance to go back to this beautiful country''...❤️🇯🇵 thank you for uploading this beautiful video..
A very helpful guide - thank you.
Loved this video, thanks! So many great memories of my time in Kyoto - none of which I filmed and deeply regret now!
I’ll see if I can find it
Great video!
Great timing. I’m booking a trip to Kyoto in May 2021. I was in Tokyo last year at this time and did a day trip to Kyoto and just loved it! I’m a Bass fisherman and am going to fish Lake Biwa - and several of the things you suggest here. Thanks for a great video!
Very good shooting and descriptions.
Tremendous beautiful Tokyo
Love your videos! Thanks
Thank you!!!

KYOTO 最高ですね
修学旅行に行く〜これで行きたい所が見つけた。ありがとうございます。
Good video
Good!!!
Love your videos ❤️
Love your comments
I see what you did there, and there and here and there, oh and here. Love your videos, keep em coming :D
Will do! 😁
Some great footage - well done Suitcase Monkey
I love your videos. You are very funny! I enjoy watching your travels and get some great ideas. Thanks from Canada.
Thank you
recently found your channel, and i have to say yours has been my fave for japan content! others babble on too much and the clips are too long and i think you have it just right :) i wanted to ask about getting to the bamboo forest early? is it really possible to enter at that time or you mean to que?
Thank you for the lovely comment! In terms of the bamboo grove, it’s basically just a path that is always open. So there is no entry. So you can go there whenever you want and there’s technically no queue. Just lots of people usually. It isn’t the end of the world though. It’s still enjoyable during the day when it’s busy like when we went. It’s just if you want that photo with just you... thanks again.
Thank You for this video.. I visited Kyoto last year, but didnt have much time to explore..only visited some temples.. This video shows me so much info and ideas..for my next trip.. Thank you so much...
Thank you! You’re welcome! Glad it helped
Another fantastic video! I will definitely be watching this again when we start properly planning our trip to Japan. I'm trying to remember from your 14 days video, did you do all of these in 4 days? Thanks for all the useful information!
Hi there. Yeah Kyoto was 5 nights booked in our Kyoto hotel. But 4 days in Kyoto with 1 day in Nara. I guess it’s also worth saying that our train pulled into Kyoto station at like 9:30am so we didn’t lose a day with arrival if that makes sense.
@@SuitcaseMonkey Yes, that does make sense. Thanks a lot for your reply!
Thank you for a great video! If possible, can you please provide us with a rough written itinerary of your 5 days.
Hello New friend and Subscriber LorneTLW watching here from Australia I've been watching a few if your videos and love your work very enjoyable to watch and very informative Thankyou for sharing my friend 🙏
Hi there and welcome! Glad you enjoy, please tell your friends! 😀
Outstanding video, with casual presentation, and so much information. Am going to Japan for 5 weeks late April to early June. Thank you for giving me more things to look up.
You’re welcome. 😊
日本に住んでいるのに行った事かないところたくさんありました！北海道にも来て下さい😀
😍😍😍😍😍
🔥🔥🔥🔥
you should go turkey istanbul it's incredibly amazing 😻
Great content! I'm going to Japan in November and was wondering if I can only spend time in one Ryokan with an onsen which city would you recommend?
Your video is so good. The best. Which camera do you use? Thank you
Thanks. This would have been an iPhone X or XS
Hello! Thank you for the video. Question tho, for first week of April, is it best to do a day trip in Kyoto or Kanazawa or Kawagoe? 🥲 Thank you!
What tour did you use for the mountain river rafting? Amazing video
Thanks for lots of info, We are going to Japan in June, wonder what card will benefit us for transportation if 4 days in Kyoto, 3 days in Osaka n Nara, going to places you suggest? also I'd like you to check samurai and ninja museum, sounds cool..
Thanks. Use the Japan Guide website. It’s amazing. I think most of the IC cards work everywhere (but check).
amazing video, thank you. how many days would you suggest to see Kyoto?
Thanks. We were there for 5 nights if I remember correct. I like to be able to properly chill in an area and not be rushed. Watch our 2 weeks in Japan vlog which shows you how we spent our time.
Great video! I wanted to ask around what time of year were you there? Thanks!
April
👍
LOL, love your funny film. does it worth staying in Nara for a week?
Hmm. I would suggest a day or two should be enough. But I’m sure you can get a few more days out of it if you wanted.
Love this. What dates were you in Kyoto and in Japan in total?
From the last couple days of March.
Oh and 14 days. This section is from a full 40 minute Japan vlog so check that out for more context.
kyoto is the place i want visit the most. if i get married, I'd probably visit there for honeymoon.
There is no information on Epic River Cruise in the contents created by Koreans. I got good information from this video. I thank you for your hard work.
God bless us I want to travel around the world together my family, friends and relatives. In God all things are possible po. From Lani D. Nepomuceno, Philippines
Can you give us the name of the hotel you stayed? The link I have seen is for another hotel. Ty. Found your channel and can't wait to visit some of these places.
Hey, thanks for watching. Check the link again, I wrote that the hotel we stayed at is now closed so I linked the one next door which is rated as superb. It's a good location for transport we found and in a quiet area.
So informative, How many days need to cover all of these in Kyoto?
Hey. I think we were there 4 nights.
@@SuitcaseMonkey thank you 👍
Hi heu
Can you take us to Switzerland
Can I buy Sagano Scenic Railway, plus the bus ride, and Hozugawa River Boat online together? I will be traveling with kids ages 6 & 10. Is the river boat safe?
I want to fly to Kyoto, Kansai.
If you are sightseeing in Kyoto, depending on your route, it may be faster and more comfortable to take the train or walk rather than the bus.
Looking forward to Expo 2025!
私は京都､関西へ飛び立ちたくなります
京都観光されるあなた､経路次第でバスより電車か徒歩なら､早くて快適かもしれません
2025年大阪万博を楽しみに!
kyoto was capital for 4 century, and quite not destroyed, contrarly to tokyo destroyed by 1923 eq/fire and 1945bomb,
so for discover old japan you need to go kyoto: i least 4 packed day, theres too much to see, so see the most spot.
North: ryonaji (oldest zen garden) -kinkanji (gold temple)
North east: silver garden, philospher path,
East kyomindera and stuff around, rent yukata or kimono depending season for roam is popular too.
Center: nijo-jo, kyoto gosho.
South: nara/inari=1day nara only 40min train.
i think NW zone is more for family/kid monkey
i also recommand hotel in osaka, its cheaper and less than 30min of kyoto, and that add lot stuff to do there too. if you have a tourist train pass !
around kyoto in less than 1hour train, you have: hikone one of oldest castle at lake biwa, and Nara south, and of course osaka/kobe
Is there accommodations for family of 4 in 1 room in Kyoto?
Nov mid to late Nov already autumn in osaka,kyoto, tokyo ?
I’m planning to go By myself and I’m so nervous because I feel like I’m going to get lost 😭
Just FYI - Kyoto has been the sister-city of Boston, MA USA since 1970’s.
best time to visit Kyoto ? (warm weather and low season)
Your wife Japanese? Then it's no surprise to get around Japan easily. Actually, it is one of the biggest challenges for foreigners to use public services in Japan!
Hi there. Yeah I pointed this out on the screen when I said it (it was quick to see if you were paying attention) 😜
Could you please say the name of the hotel you stayed in? The link ib the description isnt working
Hey there, sorry for the issue. The hotel has closed it seems. Here's a link for the one next door, which is rated as Superb, and supports the channel. It was a good location for transport. www.booking.com/hotel/jp/kyomachiya-luckyou-horikawagojo.en.html?aid=1864334&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2&label=KyotoTips
which country good for live and work
can you tell me the name of the hotel you recommend staying? your link no longer seems to be working.
Hi there. Try this. www.booking.com/hotel/jp/hoteruwbf-jing-du-wu-tiao-da-gong.en.html?aid=1864334&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2
Hi i was wondering why don't you visit osaka?
Next time! Was waiting for Nintendo Land!
@@SuitcaseMonkey I see, hopefully soon you can visit 😄
Sorry what was the name of the hotel you used?
Hi. The hotel link is in the description.
