Things you shouldn’t do when visiting Kyoto. 😇🇯🇵⛩️ If you visit one of the Geiko districts in Kyoto taking pictures of them from up close is actually considered VERY disrespectful. Don’t invade their personal space, don’t make them feel uncomfortable. I know it’s very special to see them, but please be respectful towards them. 🙏🏼 They’re just girls on way to work. Let’s be nice to them. #Japan #Kyoto #Geisha #KyotoJapan #JapaneseCulture

Kyoto is famous for its temples, shrines, and traditional beauty. But while exploring the city, I found myself going down a much darker side of its history… Today, I visited Gojo Rakuen, Rokuhara, and Sanjo Ohashi—three places with stories that most tourists never hear about. From a former pleasure district to legends of the afterlife and sites connected to public executions, Kyoto’s past is a lot more complex than it first appears. Which place would you want to learn more about? #kyototrip #kyoto #japantrip #japanesehistory #sightseeing

Before moving to Kyoto, I thought I knew what this city was all about. 🍵⛩️ Temples, shrines, matcha, and traditional Japan. But after living here, I realized there’s so much that nobody talks about. 👀 ☀️ The summers are brutally hot ❄️ The winters feel colder than you’d expect 🎓 Kyoto is actually more of a student city than a tourist city 🏙️ Strict regulations shape the skyline 🛍️ Many locals go to Osaka when they want to shop 🤝 Some traditional places still operate on an introduction-only basis The more time I spend here, the more I realize that Kyoto is way more complex than the image most people have of it. And that’s part of what makes it so fascinating. ✨ What’s something about Kyoto that surprised you? #kyoto #traveltip #kyototrip #japaneseculture #japantrip
