Tip for the next trip to Kiyomizudera. Wait till near closing time to get some awesome night shots. The crowds get pushed out and you can hop right in at the end to get a good position. The monks let us and other photographers stay about 15 mins past closing. The grounds are lit up and the lights from the city make for an amazing shot.

My wife and I love Kyoto! Yeah, Kiyomizudera gets super crazy, better to go early in the morning. Though, I felt like the walk to the top of Fushimi Inari was a lot more challenging. And I can relate to the disappointment of scaffolding. In 2019, we went to Miwajima and the floating tori gate was completely covered for renovation.

Three years in Japan with the USN and never there for the fall colors. Timing is everything. Here in SoCal, the Japanese red maples are decorative and summer heat or drought hurts them so some years, even in the nice gardens, they aren't great. But, you got to Kyoto! Still an amazing blend of old and new, traditional and modern.

When I first seen the announcement for the series I wasn't sure how hyped I should be, but now having watching both vlogs from the 'Gone Vong' series, my only regret is that I didn't watch them sooner. This is not only the best content I have watched on your channel, but it might be the most entertaining video I have seen in months. Your humor and enthusiasm is contagious, and had me on the edge of my seat watching your adventures and mishaps unfold. Incredible story telling. 10:00 I can relate so much! I remember being so excited to see the Kiyomizu-dera temple, when I got there and saw all of the black tarps I was so disappointed. Going to keep my eyes peeled for future installments in the series!

Hey Michael, one of the best comments I've gotten for the series 🥹 thank you so much for the kind words. There are so many travel stories we've been wanting to share but due to time and resources, we couldn't bring them out in the best format possible until now. Our editor for this series, Jonathan, did an absolute amazing job at interweaving my storytelling and the footage we captured into a seamless film. The important thing was we all wanted this to FEEL different from the usual content I produce on the channel while retaining the photography / filmmaking aspects. Your comment gave us more assurance we are doing something right, thank you!!

It's like they all took advantage of the shutdown and decided to do those renovations they've been holding off on 😅 Same thing happened to us when we were in Korea 2021, many of the scenic structures had a bunch of scaffolding. Actually now that I think about it, the Japan places were probably under renovation for the olympics?

@@JasonVong olympics are most probably it. Bcs when we went there, there is news of 1 people from japan got covid.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, try perhaps going into more less well known spots for the "shot".

Some are more challenging on transport options but there are always a few that are doable and still give you a wonderful experience.
