Exploring Kyoto’s Countryside | Rice Terraces, Woodfire Bath, Cozy Cafes & Slow Living | JAPAN VLOG
This week I’m taking you to Japan’s idyllic countryside – to a quiet little town called Toyono, just an hour from Kyoto.
We’ll explore hidden temples, wander through rice terraces, visit cozy cafes, unwind in a traditional woodfire bath, and enjoy slow living in the countryside.
I hope you enjoy this change of pace 🙂

Wow what a beautiful town. Thank you for sharing!
always so soothing to watch
Eine wunderschöne Reise auf's Land, die mir sehr gefallen hat.❤
Loved the temple, really beautiful. What is its name?
I loved the look of this accommodation. I have a suggestion if you would like to visit the shimanami kaido, the Benton Homestead guesthouse looks lovely.
It was a beautifully tiled bathroom. In the Showa era, ordinary homes had tiled bathrooms and kitchens, but they disappeared without a trace. It brought back memories.
I love the small Shinto shrines
you are an excellent storyteller, excellent image, we love your blogs, your blogs seems allways so short to me, thank you!
AMAZING PLACES, VERY BEAUTIFUL SHARE
