Must Know Before You Go Kyoto Travel Tips 🇯🇵 🌸 What to See, Eat, and Do for Your Japan Itinerary!

With the rising crowds, is it still worth visiting Kyoto Japan in 2026? After spending two weeks in Japan's cultural heart, we created this Ultimate Kyoto Japan Travel Guide with our top Kyoto travel advice to help you properly experience the magic of Kyoto despite its rising popularity and increasing crowds. With over 2,000 religious temples and shrines, its traditional old Japan streets, and its long history as Japan’s former capital, it’s a place many people have on their travel bucket list and for good reason! But because it's such a special place, it’s also a city that needs good planning for setting the right expectations and building the proper itinerary to enjoy Kyoto the right way, especially if it's your first time visiting. In this video, we show you how to experience the authentic Kyoto while navigating or avoiding the crowds and still visiting its must-see sites. If you're planning a trip and searching for the top things to do in Kyoto, what to eat and drink in Kyoto, which temples and shrines are must-sees in Kyoto, or where to stay while visiting Kyoto, this video is for you!

We're Ashley and Nigel, a husband and wife from Seattle, Washington (with deep Louisiana roots) who made the biggest decision of our lives: we quit our jobs, sold our home, and set out to travel the world full-time. This channel is where we document that journey. You'll find travel guides, destination reviews, food adventures, cultural experiences, hidden gems, day trips, honest travel tips, and real conversations about what it's like to leave behind a traditional career path and build a life centered around experiences instead of possessions. We believe travel is about much more than checking places off a bucket list. It's about meeting people, understanding different cultures, trying unfamiliar foods, getting lost occasionally, embracing the unexpected, and discovering parts of the world that most travelers overlook. From the street food stalls of Vietnam and the vibrant cities of Thailand to the cultural wonders of China, the historic neighborhoods of Hong Kong, and everywhere else this journey takes us, we're committed to sharing authentic experiences, practical travel advice, and honest opinions to help you plan your own adventures. Whether you're looking for travel inspiration, destination guides, food recommendations, budget travel tips, cultural experiences, or simply want to follow along as a couple navigating life on the road, we're glad you're here. Our hope is that these videos help make travel feel more approachable and show that major life changes, while sometimes scary, are absolutely possible. After more than 20 years together, we decided it was finally time to step off the hamster wheel and see what the world had to offer. Now we're bringing you along for the ride.
