Discover Hidden Gems of Kyoto | 京都 Vlog #1 | JAPAN 4K CINEMATIC TRAVEL VIDEO
In general, Kyoto is one of the most popular sightseeing spots in Japan. Hearing that place name, what brings to your mind?
Last November, I went fun shooting in Kyoto with my friends, Masao and Yoshi who are also videographers. Since it was in the mid of November, Kyoto was full of tourists searching for autumn leaves.
But trying to avoid crowds, we were searching for many hidden gems of this region. Luckily, we discovered those such as the artistic promenade overlooking the city, the unspoiled mysterious power spot in the mountain, and the gorgeous shrine with vivid color lanterns.
In this video, I introduce you to the lesser-known beautiful spots of Kyoto. I hope my vlog will give you a travel inspiration for Kyoto, have fun!

この動画では、今回の旅を通じて発見した沢山の穴場スポットをご紹介します。京都に行かれる場合は、ぜひご参考にして頂けると嬉しいです！
