☆This guide contains the best of Kyoto adventuring☆
1. The top tourist locations with my notes and tips.
2. My favourite off-the-beaten path temples and shrines to avoid the crowds.
3. A dedicated Arashiyama Bamboo Forest section, including my favourite spots to see that are lesser known.
4. A full separate guide to Nishiki Market and the side streets around it. There is a lot to do in the area, even once the market closes at night!
5. A massive selection of food spots to choose from, there is something for everyone.
☆ Have fun in Kyoto, and don't forget to take some time to just get lost in the backstreets ☆
Love,
Martina aka King Kogi
