Kyoto travel diary | connecting with locals, zen gardens, matcha tea ceremony (japan vlog)
We immersed ourselves in the beauty of Kyoto beyond the usual tourist spots! In this 3-day Kyoto travel vlog, we took things slow—wandering hidden streets, connecting with locals, and soaking in the city's zen atmosphere. From strolling along Kamo River and visiting serene shrines to learning traditional matcha tea ceremony etiquette from our Airbnb host, indulging in Kyoto’s best food & desserts, and, of course, enjoying gachapon adventures—this trip was all about meaningful moments and local connections.
