Gion & downtown Kyoto, Japan travel video
Most visitors to Kyoto, Japan are here to enjoy the temples, gardens and the historic sites but you'll also find that downtown Kyoto is very appealing. It's a busy modern shopping area that features a couple of major boulevards, several large department stores and smaller pedestrian-only streets, and there’s many blocks of boutiques and restaurants, cafés and thousands of local residents filling the sidewalks.
Near the Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto you'll find the most famous downtown historic neighborhood, Gion, the neighborhood of the geisha or as they say in Kyoto, the geiko. And the little side streets are where you want to venture to see the really charming part of old Kyoto.
Hanamikoji is the main side street in Gion where you're most likely to run into some geisha. Keep in mind you want to be polite and considerate when you see a geisha, or geiko as they are called in Kyoto.
The primary commercial street here is Shijo dori and it's always very busy, full of shops and pedestrians and there's a lot of cars, a lot of traffic going by. We’ll show you more of this in a few minutes, including a covered shopping mall, but it’s kind of nice to get away from the busy streets and into the side lanes.
Be sure to also walk a few blocks north along Kiyamachi to reach the charming little canal that winds its way above and below Shijo-dori.

Trinity Hot Springs | Paradise, Idaho (Vlog)
Trinity Hot Springs. No matter how many times I go up, down and all around Idaho, there’s still new places to find. Places hidden in valley’s, next to rivers, and under the pine tree's. Actually, to be more specific, Trinity Hot Springs is hidden down the road from the town of Pine, about 2 and a half hours from Boise. How I’ve lived so close to this place for so long and never even heard of it boggles my mind. At 2.2 miles below the surface, Trinity is the deepest known water source on earth. Not just in Idaho… on the entire planet! It’s the only certified “Naturliches Heilwasser” – a natural health water – in North America. The uniquely deep spring water is recognized as such by the Institut Fresenius in Europe – the international authority on free-flowing spring sources of exceptional purity that contain beneficial minerals. Long story short its some seriously special water, claimed to have healing powers. But Trinity Hot Springs is more than just a soak, it’s an entire experience.
Now one thing that can get a little confusing is how much it costs to soak. I’ll try to explain it to you now, but you can find more information online. Trinity requires an annual membership for everyone who soaks. Even if you want to drop in for a quick dip, if it’s your first soak of the year, you're gonna have to purchase a membership. Cost is $25 for adults, $20 for kids, and $15 for toddlers. Those dues include your fist soak of the year. After paying your annual membership, every soak during the following year requires you to purchase a day pass which is $15 for adults, $10 for kids, and $5 for toddlers. They also offer other spa amenities at Trinity such as Massage, Yoga, Reflexology and more. Check the website for pricing and to book those activities ahead of time, along with your lodging if you plan to stay the night.
