Kyoto is the most popular place to go in Japan outside Tokyo. Because so many people want to go there, there are problems with over-tourism and the most popular sightseeing areas are very crowded. In this video I'll show you what it's really like, and how you can avoid the crowds and still enjoy beautiful Kyoto. Everyone wants to go to the top 10 most popular places, so they'll always be busy, but you only need to go a street or two away to find quieter streets. The video includes the popular Southern Higashiyama area around Kiyomizudera, Sannenzaka and Ninenzaka, as well as Gion (including Hanamikoji Street), the Kamogawa River, Yasaka Shrine and Maruyama Park. Plus some off-the-beaten track spots like Tainai Meguri and Yasaka Koshindo.
