A walking tour of some of Kyoto's most beautiful temples and shrines in the Gion District and Higashiyama District.

These are just a handful of shrines and temples to see in Kyoto. There are so many additional incredible sites and attractions. More videos coming soon.

Traditional Ryokan In Kyoto, Japan
Staying at a traditional Ryokan (Kyoto Garden Ryokan Yachiyo) in Kyoto was one of our favorite experiences in Japan. We took some photos in our yukatas, enjoyed a grand kaiseki dinner, slept on a futon, woke up to a big Japanese breakfast, and rode bicycles to Ginkaku-ji and Nanzen-ji temples.

Arashiyama Bamboo Grove tour in Kyoto, Japan + AMAZING Sushi
Our Arashiyama Bamboo Grove tour in Kyoto, Japan was a wonderful experience just outside the center of Japan's once capital and is definitely on of the top things to do in Kyoto. Located about 30 minutes from the center of Kyoto by car, Arashiyama is an area of peace and tranquility - it's the quintessential Zen escape from the hustle and bustle of Japanese city life. A lot of people also call it the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest (嵐山, 京都市).
The Arashiyama Bamboo Grove forms part of the 3 pillars of must sees and dos when in Kyoto: the Fushimi-Inari-Taisha Shrine, the Kinkaku-hi (golden) temple and Arashiyama. It's quite simply a must, and a must that you will undoubtedly enjoy. Located in the mountains surrounding Japan's ancient capital, there is something cool and mystical about the place. Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's because Zen buddhism has a history here, but there's just simply a feeling about the place. Then again, this was one of our earliest encounters with Japanese culture and history and as such probably left a deep impression on all of us.
After that we visited the Tenryu-ji (天龍寺, Tenryūji) temple. PLEASE NOTE, there is a mistake in the video and the place after Arashiyama is in fact Tenryu-ji. This Zen buddhist temple was built in 1339 by Shogun Ashikaga Takauji. Not unlike other Japanese landmarks, the temple was damaged by fire multiple time since then. Most of today's structure dates back to the Meiji Era (1868-1912).
Adjacent the Tenryu-ji temple is the Tenryu-ji garden. Created by This is a marvel of Japanese gardens. Created by Muso Soseki, this is a marvel and hallmark of Japanese gardens. The beauty, the simplicity, the way nature is perfected by the hand of Man is an awe-inspiring experience, even if an introspective one. I realized after walking through this garden that Japanese gardens are not just gardens, they are a philosophy of life.
After visiting Arashiyama, we ate at an AMAZING sushi restaurant, whose name I unfortunately forget! If you've never had sushi in Japan, it's really different! And Kyoto is also known as the birthplace of sushi, although back in the day the fish was fermented or marinated.

MUSLIM HALAL JAPANESE STREET FOOD TOUR IN KYOTO - Mochi, Nishiki Market & Fushimi Inari Shrine
Asslamu Alikom - Greetings of Peace everyone! We hope you enjoy our japan travel vlog about our day trip to try some of the amazing street food in Kyoto Japan.
Top Things to do in Kyoto:
1) Visit the temples!
2) Arashiyama park
3) Tea Ceremony
4) Nishiki Market
5) Gion District/Pontocho
We started the day very early in Osaka and we took the JR Shinkansen Rapid train from Shin Osaka to Kyoto station which took about 15-20 minutes.
The first place stop on our japanese vlog tour was the Fushimi Inari Shrine (伏見稲荷大社) where we got to spend some time eating and shopping while discovering the beautiful scenery around the shrine. The shrine is located on a mountain so its a great opportunity to hike and see the amazing colorful Torii Gates that run up the mountain. This place has a lot of tourists and is very popular when visiting kyoto Japan. The shrine is famous for its thousands of Torii gates.
After we rested a bit and headed to a tea ceremony at a place called Tea Ceremony En in Kyoto. This was a great experience that was perfect for a hectic and busy day. The tea ceremony allows you to see how important this is and how it shaped japanese culture. The hostess shows you how they would host guests in the past and make the green matcha tea in a beautiful relaxing manner. Definitely a great way to relax in Kyoto.
After the Tea ceremony, we got hungry and we wanted to eat lunch so we stopped by a popular area called Pontocho Alley district which is close to Gion and Nishiki market. This area is beautiful, with the Kyoto river behind it and all these old unique buildings serving amazing japanese food. Great place for lunch! The Japanese restaurant we went to served us a great sushi and sashimi bowl lunch. We also got to try the Kyoto speciality of yuba - tofu skin which was delicious. We also tried Chawan Mushi which is an egg custard soup that was really tasty.
We headed to Gion district to try the famous Matcha green tea ice cream! It is a must when visiting Kyoto to try the Matcha desserts, they have the best matcha desserts and mochi! At Gion, we got to see how life was like in old Japan and see the beautiful architecture of Kyoto as well as see a real Geisha!
Geisha's are everywhere but are very hard to spot in the Gion district so keep your eye out!
Finally we headed to Nishiki market to buy souvenirs and try the local produce of Kyoto. Nishiki Market (錦市場, Nishiki Ichiba) is a very narrow market with five blocks of food stalls to choose from! You can try so many unique Japanese foods such as Mochi, Tofu donuts, Senbei, octupus skewers, different pickled japanese vegetables, sashimi skewers, and ten fish cakes. We tried the fish cake that has quail eggs and they were delicious. We also tried the mochi and tofu donuts that were amazing and tasty.
Kyoto is such a beautiful and historic old city that is a must when visiting Japan. The people are kind and the city is very unique and feels like home even if you are not from Japan.

TRADITIONAL Japanese STREET FOOD Tour at Fushimi Inari Shrine | Kyoto, Japan
During my twelve incredible days exploring the Asian island nation of Japan in January of 2019, I absolutely fell in love with the country. The people, the culture, the gorgeous sites, and of course, the phenomenal food, captured my heart. It’s near the top of my list of my favorite destinations of all-time and I believe it’s a place everyone needs to experience at least once in their lifetime. Join me on my latest Japanese adventure!
My Film Making Kit ►
After arriving in Kyoto on the morning of my fourth day in Japan, I met up with my new friend and guide Kosuke, who took me on an incredible tour of Kyoto’s temples and an insanely delicious traditional Japanese street food tour at the Fushimi Inari Shrine! Come along with me as I begin my exploration of Kyoto and gorge on some of its best street food!
Kyoto is an ancient city that is steeped in history and tradition (it served as Japan’s capital for over 1,000 years from the 8th century to the 20th century), and that history and tradition can be seen at every turn. The moment I arrived, I was immediately blown away by how different Kyoto felt from the ultra-modern concrete jungle of Tokyo. Kyoto felt much quieter and much more traditional by comparison. There are roughly 2,000 temples in the city!
My tour began at Kōmyō-in, a sub-temple in the Tōfuku-ji Buddhist temple complex that was founded in 1391. The temple is famous for its Zen garden, maple trees, and cherry blossoms. It’s customary to take off your shoes when you enter any Japanese temple or apartment, so we did so and continued on to the Zen garden, which is covered in moss; contains lots of white gravel (which is raked weekly by the head monk); and has lots of large rocks jutting up from the moss. The rocks represent mountains and the white gravel symbolizes the ocean. You can’t step into the garden; you have to enjoy it from the wooden walkways of the temple.
Inside the temple are several rooms and photos of the temple hanging on the walls. Kosuke also took me to the praying hall, where the head monk reads from the Buddhist bible. The hall contains a statue of the Buddha and is beautiful!
Next, we headed off to get some breakfast at the food market near the Fushimi Inari Shrine, which is a very famous shrine that sees 7,000 visitors per day, including locals who pray for the prosperity of their businesses.
The aroma of the food in the market was amazing! I couldn’t wait to try it!
I started with takoyaki (500 Yen/$4.46), or octopus balls, which are made from a batter containing octopus, red ginger, and cabbage. It was hot, but so delicious with a soft, crème brûlée-like consistency inside, and had a nice takoyaki sauce and bonito flakes on top.
Next was a tofu steak (400 Yen/$3.57), which is tofu on a stick that’s pan-fried and is topped with wasabi, ponzu sauce, seaweed, and bonito flakes. I loved it, especially the texture of the bonito flakes and the flavor of the seaweed! So delicious!
We followed that with gyoza (300 Yen/$2.68 for 3 gyozas), or a type of Japanese potsticker, which was wrapped with chicken skin. It was the best gyoza I’ve ever had! The chicken skin was really fatty and changed the texture of the gyoza. It blew my mind! I followed that with a dried, fig-like fruit that was amazing as well.
As we continued through the market, I bought two Japanese masks (2,000 Yen each/$17.86 each) for my wall at home. We made our way toward the Fushimi Inari Shrine, and Kosuke told me that it became popular after the film “Memoirs of a Geisha” was filmed there.
The shrine’s most popular site is the 10,000 vermilion torii gates that straddle a network of trails going up the mountain. Each gate was donated by a Japanese businessman and is inscribed with the name of the businessman’s company and the date it was donated. The gates are gorgeous!
Next, I visited some miniature torii gates stacked in front of the holy rock, and picked up the good luck rock to see what kind of luck I would have! Let’s just say I hope it was wrong!
I hope you enjoyed my temple, shrine, and food tour of Kyoto! If you did, please give it a thumbs up, leave me a comment below, and subscribe to my channel for more awesome travel and food content!
