I was in Gion last week and I thought the street closures were confusing. In December 2022, there were short wood barriers blocking the small alleyways, which made it clear that it was a private street. Now, the barriers are gone and people were wandering into the alleys. People may be able to guess that a public street has road signs and private alleys do not, but that's only if you're observant.,
Visited Kyoto before. Great place. Please visit "The Restaurant of Mistaken Orders" someday. Looks like a cute place
Tourists that do that in the southeast of the only free country end up getting a free tour on American alligators but the real special harassing tourists get free tours of our American crocodiles and bull sharks.
You think I’m joking.
Something change but i think???,i was wrong because she's keep taking a seep of🍺😊😊😊
F the damn tourist
Watching this while eating dinner, dinner, dinner 🇯🇵❤️🇵🇭
People like foam in their beers?
I want that pint pouring machine. Amazing!
I remember seeing a Geisha whilst I was walking around Gion during my first trip to Kyoto back in 2013. I just respectfully admired her from a distance in those brief few seconds before she vanished.
When they say tourist, they mean white people
good vibes
Thanks for the video! It's very sad that rules had to be put into place because of tourists while I completely understand why it just is sad to see that the few disrespectful people have ruined experiences for those who respect locals laws and people. I never got to visit Kyoto last time I was in Japan ( before the new rules and restrictions) but my wife and I will be visiting Japan in the fall and Kyoto is part of our plans, she has never been to Japan so I am definitely looking forward to showing her the beauties of one of my favorite countries in the world! 🙂
Is the city less touristy and crowded in October/November? Really enjoyed your Summer tour and the food spots.
Had the chance of meeting a geisha in Kyoto, she was afraid i was going to pull out a camera😂
You are beautiful Shizuka 😊.
Shizuka, this is a beautiful video with an essential tip for us. I love the river and the wonderful view from the restaurant's top. The barbequed meat looks so good, my mouth is watery lol.💌❤ By the way, I love your dress!
My wife and I were in Kyoto back in 2011 for our honeymoon. Thank you for bringing back so many wonderful memories.
but we are tourist , and this for tourist , thanks for all the info anyways
The tendan restaurant is a 50% markup on your website compared to their own website???
Might not be my place to say…but noticed a lot more beer recently in your videos. Just try to take it a bit easier, alcohol isn't great for your body and health.
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you. When I see 'tourists have been banned' from certain streets in Kyoto – does that mean banned from taking photography? Or are tourists not allowed to walk down some of the streets in Gion now?
Yakiniku is Korean barbecue. You can enjoy our culture but don't misappropriate it
最高👍👍👍
I went to Kyoto on my first trip to Japan just before the pandemic swept over the world and I haven't been able go go back (I plan to go back next year). Kyoto was by far my favorite city to visit and I actually spent time there twice during my month long trip. The first time I got there during a typhoon so I didn't had much luck exploring Kyoto so I stopped by on my way back from Hiroshima before I had to go home. And I definitely fell in love with Kyoto. I only scratched the surface but I found a lot of fun places that few tourists had found so I was happy. Every night i sat down by the river and just enjoyed the moment. I was watching the restaurants on the balconies and wondered how it would be to actually sit there instead. Now I know how to try that one out next time at least so thank you for this. That BBQ place looked wonderful but expensive. 😍
Trying local food is the best thing with traveling. You experience new and interesting tastes and beautiful dishes. That is one of my favorite thing to do. I also love food markets, I can roam around them for hours.
You must have the best job in the world! Trying out and promoting food in Japan. Where do I sign up? 😃 Thank you for a nice video as always!
I am in Kyoto as I type this and it’s way overcrowded with tourist behaving badly. This city is unable to handle the amount of people visiting .
0:15 tf did you just call a geiko a geisha?
it's hard to explain, but the positive vibe you had in this video was so communicable that it made me smile.
My wife wants to take our family to visit Kyoto. In the meantime I'm going to see if this gorgeous host has ever visited a beach. She's got a bikini body for sure😘
Can you please give me the address of the Kamogawa Sky Garden BBQ. ThxQ
AKA why we can't have nice things. 🤦
