Remember how I made that video.
that was like "Over-tourism in Japan!" Like "Oh I wonder if
Japan's going to survive the Olympics?"
Wow, I'm so glad I spent 30 hours putting that video
together.
So, the first stop of our-
The first stop of our trip, we've come to Fushimi inari.
This place is the number one tourist attraction in Japan and
it's normally very very very very very busy. Last time I was
here it was about two years ago with Yoshi.
And it was packed. So I'm actually surprised there's
still quite a few people here. But it's in general just a lot
quieter already. A lot quieter. It's quite nice.
Oh my gosh!
It's crazy. There's nobody here! The last time that we were
here it was so busy. Just full of people! It's so quiet.
This is crazy.
Normally outside temples they have like a pool of water with ladles to help you wash your hands like
cleanse yourself before you enter the temple.
But it says on this sign here that they removed the labels to
prevent any spread. Good idea I think, but a little sad.
We took an extra little tiny detour to a place called the
bamboo groove? Groove?
Groove? Course. And there's bamboo everywhere and it's so
beautiful. And so quiet. There's nobody here.
I don't know why I've never been here before it's
beautiful.
It's not so stretchy this one, it's more like dango
Yeah I think so too.
Surprisingly still quite a large number of people here. I
mean definitely nowhere near as busy as it usually is. Still
quite a few people here especially young Japanese
people. A lot of people wearing Kimono, like this. And
they still have the food samples available.
Which is very surprising. I would have thought that that
would be one of the first things to go but
you can still sample things.
This is actually the first time I have ever seen Kiyomizu Dera
without any kind of construction around it.
There's always, always even since the first time I came
here like eight years ago, there's always been
construction at some part of this temple but it's finally
finished! Thank God. And it's beautiful, there's a big
wide open space. Lovely Temple and lovely nature. I mean it's
winter so it doesn't look that fancy but during like spring or
autumn this place is unreal!
So right next to Kiyomizu Dera, there is this little area right
next to it called Kodaiji. It's got a whole bunch of different
little alleyways and beautiful little gardens and many
temples. I've just come to like Kodaiji Museum and
there is nobody else here. You can still hear what I'm saying
even though I'm whispering! It's so beautiful.
So there you go! As you can see from this video Kyoto is
obviously a lot quieter than it normally is. It's usually
packed full of people.
But I was still surprised to see quite a few people out
there just carrying on life as usual which is very
interesting. Yoshi and I actually went there on March 9.
So it's been quite a bit of time since then. I just took me
a while to get round to editing the footage. I'm obviously
definitely not travelling right now. I'm spending as much time
indoors as I possibly can. Despite there being no official
lockdown rules I still feel as though people are doing their
best to stay safe indoors which is a very good thing. Also I do
need to apologize for the audio in this video because my
beloved Sony A7III microphone jack has broken again for the
third time in six months
So I'm just, over the moon with Sony's customers support team!
