Here are 10 of my top things to know for your next trip to Kyoto, Japan 👘 1. Choose your seasons – Kyoto is especially beautiful during spring and autumn, but beware the crowds. 2. Get up early – Kyoto is getting busier by the day so be sure to wake up early to avoid the tourists. 3. Go beyond the tourist trail – Seek out smaller temples, quiet streets and hidden cafes. 4. Take a hike – The city has many hiking trails, including the Kyoto Isshu Trail. 5. Spend time doing nothing – Visit a day spa, traditional ryokan or hot spring in a nearby onsen town. 6. Experience the culture – Many temples offer private meditations and tea ceremonies, just make sure to research and book ahead. 7. Get crafty – Kyoto is home to many artisanal workshops including kimono dyeing and ceramic artists. 8. Think modern – Many don’t realise how contemporary Kyoto is, with many innovative design spaces across the city. 9. Respect the etiquette – Remember that Kyoto is a place where locals live their daily lives, not a theme park. 10. Rent bikes – Kyoto is often best seen on two wheels and it allows you to see the city at your own pace. 🇯🇵 Who would you travel here with? 🔖 Save & share this post for your next trip to Japan! #travel #reelsininstagram #travelguide #beautifuldestinations #visitjapan #visitjapanuk #kyoto #japan #kyotogram
