Tokyo and Kyoto trip 6/2016
This video is about exploring Tokyo and Kyoto. We did quite a lot of walking and visited lots of places, mostly in Tokyo.
The experience in the Tokyo subway was fun. It was a very big subway network that was more complicated than any other subway system in US. Tokyo subway is on time, orderly, clean, and not noisy.
Tsukiji is the biggest fish market in the world. There were a lot of fresh fish and interesting activities to see.
Hamarikyu, a beautiful garden in the center of Tokyo, belonged to shoguns and later to the Imperial Family. There, you can visit a tea house where you can participate in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony.
The electrical railway to Odaiba city was a great way to see Tokyo and Odaiba if you don’t have much time. Odaiba is a man-made island with futuristic looking buildings.
Ginza is a high class shopping area. We didn't have much footage at this location.
Asakusa is where Tokyo’s oldest temple located - Senso-ji temple.
Sumida River is a the river that flows through Tokyo, Japan.
Shibuya, the craziest crossing street in Tokyo.
Meiji Shrine, a beautiful and peaceful Shrine.
Shake Shack, an American fast food chain that had a location in Tokyo. Good burgers there!
Shinjuku is an interesting neighborhood. Check out the basement floor of Takashimaya department store.
Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden was a very nice garden. Check out the Japanese Traditional Garden there.
Kyoto – beautiful Kyoto in the afternoon.
Travel to Kyoto from Tokyo by bullet train.
Visit Sanjusangen-do-Hall (no camera allowed) , it has beautiful structures and impressed people. Its 1000 life-sized Buddhist statues that dated to the 12th and 13th centuries.
Heian Shrine, a more than 1100 years old shrine.
Kiyomizu-dera Temple, another old temple in Kyoto, located on the hill top. This temple has an amazing construction which doesn’t use any nails.
Beautiful view of Kyoto from the top of this temple.
BRIDGE TO HEAVEN (Amanohashidate) | Miyazu, Kyoto
Amanohashidate is a sandbar in the northern part of Kyoto Prefecture. Amanohashidate roughly translates as bridge to heaven because it looks like a path connecting the land and sky when viewed upside down (hence the tradition to view it through your legs).
The south side of the sandbar has Viewland - an amusement park with some viewing platforms. The north side has Kasamatsu Park which is a more nature-y park with more viewing platforms.
It really is a beautiful place and worth a visit if in Kyoto Prefecture. It's in the town of Miyazu (which I accidentally said Amanohashidate for in the video), about 2 hours on the train north of Kyoto city.
Much love and happy travels
