Travel Blogs from Kyoto, Japan
Geisha...
This is a top pick! We called in at Himeji on our way to Kyoto, as it is home to Japan's most impressive castle. We only just got there in time though as the last admissions were at 4pm - I kept forgetting that we were still in off season. It worked out fine though as we ...
Temple Action

This is a top pick! ... American girl. As luck would have it, we got sat next to a couple of Japanese guys who spoke perfect English as they taught at Kyoto University, and they were great for recommending sake for us to try. I was in one of those moods where I just wanted to ...
Kyoto - Memoirs of a Geisha
This is a top pick! ... No Sato Art Museum (a.k.a. Samurai Art Museum) is utterly unimpressive save a quite glimpse of the weapons and armor. On to Kyoto, I grab the shinkansen (bullet train) and am there in no time flat. Unfortunately it seems that not booking a place ...
Soaking in a Ryokan
This is a top pick! ... immediately boarded a local train to Kameoka Station so that we could catch a hotel bus to the Sumiya Ryokan. The air around Kyoto felt noticeably colder, but the people and the city were far more cultural than Tokyo. Inside the station, people walked at ...
Keeling over in Kyoto
This is a top pick! ... . But as with all new places it just takes time to get behind the façade and very quickly we discovered a Kyoto full of character, with absolute gems tucked away down the blandest looking streets or behind high walls, beautiful green, mountain ...
Shinkansen to Kyoto
This is a top pick! ... that I settled for a Cub-O-Noodle and a beer at the Circle-K about a half mile from the hostel! 1-11 Kyoto is the old capital of Japan until 1868, and is still the cultural capital in a sense. People in Kyoto embody the qualities and practically define ...
Obon
This is a top pick! ... and on and us dancing around in a circle to the set moves of the dance. One of the most beautiful moments I have had in Japan. Kyoto itself is only about an hour out of Osaka on an express train and so since it's a pretty traditional Japanese area ...
Kyoto - City without Accommodation
This is a top pick! ... begins. Due to the supposed brilliance of the city, we arrived expecting to spend about 4 - 5 days of our 14 in Japan in Kyoto. The first day we arrived, we'd stupidly (in retrospect) not booked any accommodation. Upon being refused our first choice, ...
Kyoto photo special
This is a top pick! Kyoto is the ancient capital of Japan, and in striking contrast to Tokyo is a much more cultural sort of place. In many ways it's just plain beautiful. There are countless temples and gardens Kyoto is the home of ...
Staring at Rocks
This is a top pick! ... you view the garden from. Leaving the garden a little cross-eyed I walked back through some narrow back streets in Kyoto wondering how they ever find exact addresses here with no street names and so many little houses jammed in together. Before ...
Geisha spotting in Kyoto
This is a top pick! ... to Kameoka Station. I made a point of buying a can of hot coffee from the vending machine located outside the station. Japan has fantastic vending machines located everywhere in the city areas. Each vending machine serves cans and bottles but what is ...
The Kyoto 'Kulture Vulture'
This is a top pick! ... temple, so took a walk down the hill to the Ryoanji Temple, past the local university to a much quieter neighbor hood of Kyoto. I actually preferred this temple to the Golden temple as it was simpler, and more serene. The visitors fee was cheaper too! ...
Aoi Matsuri Festival
This is a top pick! ... power, including protection against lighting and earthquakes, and guaranteeing easy childbirth. One of the main events is a procession from the Kyoto Imperial Palace to two shrines within the city. We decided the easiest thing to do would be to see the ...
Culture rich Kyoto
This is a top pick! ... sunshine day to Nara, Japan's first real capital with eight recognised world heritage sites, which is second only to Kyoto as repository of Japan's cultural legacy. Nara is a 45minute train ride from Kyoto. One of my highlights of Japan with Kofuku-Ji ...
The wrong slippers
This is a top pick! ... still wearing the rubber toilet slippers. An unholy commotion ensued with tears shed amongst the staff. Kyoto is the old capital of Japan and is truly beautiful. Still jetlagged I was up with the roosters and Japanese pensioners in ...
Japan's Cradle
This is a top pick! ... to Japan. I managed a full four days away from the rat race here, visiting the ancient capital of Kyoto, the even more ancient capital of Nara, and Osaka, Japan's second city. I'm glad to say the trip was well worth the pain of working extra days before ...
Mr H, Geisha, Shogun and my favourite WAGS
This is a top pick! ... walk through bamboo forests, more temples and along a river..... I starting to really enjoy Japan, staying in the Gion district of Kyoto, ive seen many Geisha running around between appointments......shogun temples, samurai swords and culture just ...
Kyoto
This is a top pick! ... a picture for a young Japanese family. Last two places we visited was the Shimogamo-jinja Shrine, well worth a look and the Kyoto Imperial Palace, worth a scoot around on the bikes. We then found a dodgy cheap place for quick bite. Met one of the ...
Geishas in Great Kyoto - Japan We Love You!!!
This is a top pick! ... 's all here. Kyoto has 17 UNESO World Heritage sites and we spent five long hot days trying to see them all. People in Kyoto and Japan for that matter were generally very pleased to see tourists and we were greeted very well where ever we went. After the ...
Kyoto
This is a top pick! Kyoto is the cultural heart of Japan. A nice city, though not as pleasant in our opinion as Nara, Kyoto is packed to the gills with temples, palaces, shrines and with Japanese ladies in kimonos scampering along traditional looking streets. One can ...
Temples, Geishas and out of this world food!
This is a top pick! ... into the cab. Checked into the hotel and then caught up and had an amazing dinner with my uncle who lives in Kyoto. It was a Saturday night and the streets were fairly empty...of course my last frame of reference was India which never seems to ...
Temple Hopping
This is a top pick! I had originally planned on staying in Kyoto for a few days but absolutely everywhere was full, probably due to the cherry blossom festivities, so I'm basing myself pretty cheaply in Osaka and making use of the rail pass to get around the Kansai area. ...
Minshukus, Ryokans and Love Hotels
This is a top pick! ... we went to see the famous castle, then calm our paranoia at the local bar with a jug of Sake. The following day we left for Kyoto, Mrs Ryokan did not seem to realise we were actually meant to be staying two nights, but then she did not seem to know who ...
Sakura...
This is a top pick! ... distance of Yodobashi, a huge electronics building, so I browsed around there the next morning as I desperately needed a new camera before Kyoto. Nothing really tickled my fancy, so I refrained and went to meet Andrea at the train station, and we had a ...
