Hello, I'm Andrew Marston and welcome to the final episode of Tour Japan season 3
the show where I tell you about a place in Japan and then we go there.
Today we're going to the beautifully preseverd district in eastern Kyoto.
Right next door to Kiyomizudera.
Within the Higashiyama District I recommend exploring the 2km of atmospheric streets
and traditional shop fronts that connect Kiyomizudera to Yasaka shrine.
Here you'll find
these two famous flights of stairs
Kodaiji Temple
This big statue at Ryozen Kannon
Yasaka Pagoda, which is an extremely photogenic place at both sunrise and sunset by the way
Maruyama Park and Yasaka Shrine.
It's also a common place to spot Geisha and Maiko
or at least women dressed up like them.
Basically, if you happened to have a magical object
that would time-warp you back to the Edo-era.
You wouldn't need to use it here
because they've done an incredible job
preserving what it looked like in samurai days. [cat screeching]
Now let's head there and see it for ourselves.
That is it for seaons 3,
but we have really only scratched the surface for worthwyile places to see in Kyoto,
so leave a comment with where else you recommend people see when they visit Kyoto.
As for seaons 4, hang in there. It's on it's way and I've put details about it's release in the description of this video.
and I will say that I'm extremely excited to share it with you when it's ready
because we'll be heading to prefecture that is often overlooked but completely worthwhile.
So, I wouldn't recommend holding your breath
but I would recommend re-watching every video on this channel until its release.
Also, a big thank you to my friend Chris Broad for helping out with this episode
All of his videos are hillarious
so if you haven't already subscribed to his channel Abroad in Japan
go do that right now and tell him I sent you.
Alright, that's all for now. Thanks for watching. I'm Andrew Marston. See you soon for season 4.
