Join me on my solo trip to Kyoto. It is my third day in Japan and I am very excited because as an introvert and matcha addict, Kyoto has always been the city I want to visit. I hope you enjoy this vlog and feel free to check out my vlogs in Tokyo as well!
About me:
I am Francis, a Product Design student in Los Angeles. I enjoy making my matcha at home and learning about filmmaking. Making KZfaq videos is like my passion project now so I am excited to see what I can create in the future.

I can't believe the size of your channel man. you deserve the world with these videos. The production quality and pace in these is perfect. You being open about the stuff that is going on is really relatable, feeling anxious and lonely in a big city is a familiar feeling but having you share the same kind of emotions makes me feel better about traveling alone aswell

That was a very interesting video in Kyoto. Ive been there twice and will go back again kater this year as it is a great city to wander around, watch, eat and just enjoy the sights and the people…..I love the area by the river as well and found a very cosy coffee place to while away the time….went back often. Thanks again…was really nice of you to share.

I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure I read an article about the original idea/creator of animal crossing and he said that he lived in kyoto needed to design a game for Nintendo at the time and was so bored and depressed of the lonely life there that it inspired him to make a game that would make you feel the opposite about doing mundane things it would help you feel cheerful. Idk why I wrote this but it reminded me of it when you said you’re an introvert in kyoto lolol

I wached some videos of you and its crazy how relatable you are, because I am a media design student, also kind of introvert and I will travel alone in Japan xD But you are the first person I know who is so obsessed with matcha haha I never tryed it but I might give it a try when I am in Tokyo in two weeks xD Also your videos inspires me to also start my own Japan travel vlogs, I realy like the style of your videos and how honest you are in them xD keep it up
