Wonderful video
@nakazora on 2024-10-19 2:19 AM

As Shinichi mentioned at the end. these sort of 'secret spots' are more suited for people who've already been to Kyoto before, and are looking for a more laidback experience. A lot of tourists would think visiting non-famous landmarks or picnicking by the river to be a waste of time, especially for first time visitors who have a case of FOMO.
@ramenpharmacist on 2024-10-19 2:50 AM

wow cant wait to go kyoto again and put these tips to use!
@lisaaebi8329 on 2024-10-19 3:59 AM

Those sesame crepes looks amazing. Thank you for making these off the beaten path videos. I will use this video as a reference for my next Kyoto trip. Thank you!
@rohashimoto2774 on 2024-10-19 4:18 AM

The croquette shop would be my favorite.
@emilysinkova7131 on 2024-10-19 4:43 AM

Love this list! Great editing btw; always love your videos! It feels like I'm hanging out with dear friends😊 My husband and I made it the Kyoto Railway Museum last year and boy, what a find! We got there 2 hours before closing and it was NOT enough! Plan at least 4 hours or even the whole day if you are train nerds 😜 keep up the great work and can't wait for more adventures to inspire our own!
@DimasFajar-ns4vb on 2024-10-19 4:48 AM

capybara meat sir
@Domspun on 2024-10-19 5:08 AM

Last time I was in Kyoto, my hotel was near the Sanjokai shopping street. I was going past it everyday, looked super interesting, but my stay was too packed and didn't had time to try the shops, except the Lawson. Next time I'll spend more time there.
A lot of people don't realize that Kyoto is actually a very quiet and peaceful city, just need to be out of the tourists areas.
@Sylviatini on 2024-10-19 5:19 AM

Thank you Shinichi and Satoshi for this information..I luv mochi,onigiri..I want to try this if I will go to kyoto again
@tamara4557 on 2024-10-19 5:27 AM

Love the onigiri shop and wagashi shop. And shotengai are always fun to visit.

If youbrwally want to see some of the more popular places my tip is, go early. Just around opening. It's less busy then. And if you want to see the area it doesn't matter if things are just opening. And there is simply something about a temple or shrine in early morning.
@catherinebond7474 on 2024-10-19 5:37 AM

The Yokai street is someplace we would enjoy visiting. When is the parade?
@perdomot on 2024-10-19 5:44 AM

I found the Horikawa walk in 2019 on my 2nd trip to Kyoto and loved how peaceful it was.
@perdomot on 2024-10-19 6:07 AM

Higashi Honganji was the first temple I visited my first time to Kyoto and it made a huge impression on me.
@xdelice on 2024-10-19 7:14 AM

😍😍😍😍 thank you
@cherrytomato6139 on 2024-10-19 11:19 AM

Excellent! Super good video. Always overlooked Kyoto due to overcrowding, but now want to enjoy these locations. Thank you!
@df8417 on 2024-10-19 1:53 PM

You all hit all my favorite spots! This part of the Kamo is part of my daily morning walks!!!
@lunarebeccaada4191 on 2024-10-19 2:03 PM

This was quite enjoyable 😍🥰
@THikkikomori on 2024-10-19 2:04 PM

You guys have really nice calf muscle tone. It's a treat to see them whenever you guys have full body framed video of you two walking away from the camera
@danielletilliepoledance on 2024-10-19 2:52 PM

This is a great list! I’m headed back for my second visit next year so this was very helpful. ありがとうございます！
@jillimpink8198 on 2024-10-19 3:25 PM

Thank you for another great video! We are leaving in two days, and I will definitely be taking my "second" trip to Kyoto first!!! Off the beaten path is where it's at for me!
@cheronroggen9638 on 2024-10-19 3:27 PM

This is a lovely video. Such great new spots to see! Going to pin these places!
@GregPriest on 2024-10-19 4:18 PM

Thank you guys, your videos lovely as always! I will be hungry when watching you eat delicious food again and again! And this hidden gems is amazing, and I want to move to Japan right now. 🙏🩷 🇯🇵 I don’t know what can I working there, but I want to inhale this culture so much. 😊
@richardlau2447 on 2024-10-19 4:55 PM

I’m headed to Japan on a group tour. I’m not looking forward to crowded tour spots. I hope to see the hidden spot and back streets and roads. I wish the guide would change the itinerary.
If I visit second time, I would love to do it on my own. It would take a lot of planning. I’m from Hawaii. Bro, take me.
@jennifer_u on 2024-10-19 5:34 PM

Absolutely loved visiting Fushimi – we did a sake brewery tour at Gekkeikan which was very interesting
@HannaH20a on 2024-10-19 5:42 PM

OMG! that super crunchy donut 😋 I want it right now!!!
@JuancaLopV on 2024-10-19 5:52 PM

Thanks for the suggestions. I would go to Yokai Street, the train museum and of course eat several things like the kimchi and matcha croquette, the crepe which soundes delicious and each and every one of the mochis 😅
@TheSwedishMel on 2024-10-19 7:40 PM

Love the video, got some great tips for my next visit! A "hidden" gem my friend showed me last time is the bakery underneath Kyoto Shiyakusho-mae Station. There's a small shopping area and there's a bakery there that I don't even know the name of. Nothing fancy, just locals enjoying some very tasty baked goods. And some days there's market outside the bakery, where local artists sell their artwork.

I also love the Hyakumanben Chion-ji Temple that hosts a arts and crafts market on the 15th every month. It gets very crowded but it's a great place for food and local Kyoto culture and we didn't see many tourists the last time we went.
@Ralesk on 2024-10-19 9:40 PM

Very glad Tofukuji gets a mention, its gardens are really cool (I love the checkerboard pattern a lot) and it's easy to get to after a Fushimi Inari climb (instead of going down to the main grounds, go north from the shops and the city view cliff at Yotsuji, towards Kojingamine Observation deck).
@avatarLT on 2024-10-19 9:59 PM

Thanks for showing some really interesting places and also for all the google maps links 😀
@Ralesk on 2024-10-19 10:03 PM

The location sound reminded me of NERV alerts XD
@daniellepeters3454 on 2024-10-19 11:30 PM

I love all your videos! This one was really special… I miss Japan so much. Lived there from '81-'83. Went to ASIJ…
@tgilroytg on 2024-10-19 11:49 PM

Great video. Thanks for showing us around ❤
@janie7242 on 2024-10-20 1:05 AM

Black color? Strange but tasty?🤣😆Newly discovered places in Kyoto, great information!😍Cream Brulee donut! OMG! Time to visit Kyoto again!
@AmroNaddy on 2024-10-20 2:16 AM

So awesome. About to visit Tokyo and Kyoto for the first time in two weeks, saving these recommendations!
@devincalhoun748 on 2024-10-20 2:37 AM

Perfect timing, guys! My husband and I will be in Kyoto next month and will add these spots to our adventures. Thank you😉
@talonjansen8926 on 2024-10-20 2:46 AM

I LOOOVE Yomogimochi. ❤
@boxerblake1 on 2024-10-20 4:56 AM

Saying the first isn't a tourist spot lol
@jack_konte on 2024-10-20 5:21 AM

I'm going to explore some of these places soon! Thank you.
@ernestt8398 on 2024-10-20 5:23 AM

I love watching my unofficial uncles explore – very relaxing esp when I'm under the weather
@kayde8431 on 2024-10-20 10:57 AM

It was so nice running into you at the Sanjo shotengai!! Im glad to see you enjoyed all it had to offer on that day. Thanks for making my day!
@josue_vega on 2024-10-20 4:02 PM

21:40 I think this would be better as a sandwich instead of a crepe
@missprettyonabudget on 2024-10-20 4:59 PM

That was such a great tour, the food the views the architecture ❤ thank you for showing those to us!!!
@anon-tlv3399 on 2024-10-20 4:59 PM

Those gems are now far from hidden, prepare for a crowd of hundreds of tourists in each of them.
@MissJIF on 2024-10-20 5:56 PM

You had me at trains! Sugoi😍😍😍 Love all the quiet spots especially the temples and the canal. I always wanted to visit Kyoto because my Obachan went to school there( Kibe). But I don't like loud noisy crowds or long lines for sightseeing. Now you show me there are places to take a break!
@saskiapanter on 2024-10-21 7:38 AM

Wow, beautiful tips 😊❤
@johnp6987 on 2024-10-24 9:17 AM

Some great suggestions gents. I have seen some YouTubers hire bikes and explore some of the featured locations that way
