Boyfriend/Girlfriend Wishing Shrine & PRETTIEST Anime Street in Kyoto Japan

this is a PA you really need it's going to get you on a lot of transportations here in Japan relatively cheap this hotel uh has no elevators and everything's through a key code that's neat you don't need a room key let's see what the room looks like automatic lights flipflops this is a tiny room little closet am I am I on an airplane this this looks like an airplane laboratory this how small this is towels beds that's it little TV little fridge that is it that's all this hotel room has to offer I found this hotel and it was rank really high for cleaniness and uh people are really friendly and the neighborhood is in it's my kind of place I'll show you guys when it's light out but I saw like bunch of mysterious temples and a school that literally looks like something that popped out of an anime the key thing here is this hotel is really inexpensive each night here is only about $80 90 and it was the cheapest thing I could find in Kyoto that actually looked really clean I don't plan to be spending a lot of time in my room so just need a place to sleep look at this this this bathroom has a ledge so middle of the night when I'm trying to go to the bathroom I might literally just fall I made it to Kyoto and I'm already in love with the city it's ancient architecture everywhere tons of temples tons of shrines this is my type of place I'm going out at night and uh check this place out this is a Shinto Shrine and there are a lot of stuff happening inside let's go check it [Music] out this is so youo Yasha this is a shrine to to a fox god or goddess in Chinese mythology foxes is actually considered really evil and any sort of fox demon or Fox spirit is considered not good everybody dressed up Kono beautiful this looks like some sort of uh wishing Shrine you see a lot of I can I can sort of read this this is more about I think finding love because well the heart-shaped um tablets kind of gave that away also the word which means kind of connecting two lovers together so something about guys and gals I'm thinking this is some kind of uh wish I can find a girlfriend or boyfriend Shrine my Japanese friends tell me you you buy a tablet from here and then you bring it to that Shrine over there and then you you knock on a gone three times and then your wishes will come true if it only we're so easy just found out that this is actually a unisco site also the reason they're weing kimonos I thought it was just because of the holidays but uh apparently in Kyoto people wear kimonos just just as regular clothing which I find awesome that is that is tremendously cool this this whole area this is called yakaza Jenza and just a series of shrines and what looks like temples and people are are making their wishes right now um they're they're ringing those those bells three times she's having to go can I can I just can I do it I'm do [Music] it wait I'm doing something wrong that may have been that may have been more than three times that that was horrible every day every day no no the day the day yeah look great awesome beautiful beautiful this is yasaka Dori the uh the main street in Kyoto this block is where theak Ginza is and apparently there's more temples inside that because it's dark it's closed off but hopefully we'll find some time and go take a look that street over there is called Kong um it means well it basically means yakatori street so there's a lot of places for yakatori over there and bars this is hadam migui this is I think one of the most traditional streets here in Kyoto [Music] this is so awesome this is called anime Street or drama street because the whole street has been featured in so many animes and dramas check this out you got the willow trees on the side sakura trees this street is McDonald's I'm loving it this is so gorgeous got a little little creek and then all the houses are over there and people are just chilling eating and I hear it's really expensive purely because of his location which I understand you got to pay money to be inside an anime this is the restur where this anime is based off they make whatever you want so I mean it's like the magical frood genie of restaurants some really funny um the patrons at this place they wanted to buy me drinks because I look like jagie champ did not know that could score me free drinks of course I don't drink so maybe they can buy me a little oneing this this was gifted to me a little chair made from a champagne pork uh the person would give it me thought I look like my Jack chin I'm going to accept this because he looks like I don't want a stereotype but it looks like he's connected if you know what I mean so I'm going to accept this with a smile in front of a restaurant got this uh water and you're supposed to take it and pour it around good luck there we go [Music] [Music] I think I just saw a couple gas um I don't know that a restaurant I don't know what that is I think I saw a couple gas that's all I'm saying there I'm always an advocate of um when you go to a different place try the local food don't waste your meals on things you can get back home but all of a sudden had a craving for this and this is really good beautiful cumin flavor nice and spicy hits the spot also I got a bowl of uh swanf um sour and spicy mum bean noodles I mean look at this thing it looks like the lava from Mount mold I realize I have a real LoveHate relationship with Kyoto I love um the feel of it because it feels so ancient you you could walk in the little Alleyways and feel like you're walking in ancient Japan I literally feel like some Samurai is going to jump out at me like in the middle of the street but what I don't like about it is that late at night it just everything just becomes really seedy you see a ton of shady characters everywhere I swear a lot of people around me in the bars in the little Alleyways back Alleyways little restaurants they're all Yakuza members but there's definitely no denying the charm of this ancient capital and I really really love it here all right guys thank you all so much for watching see you
