Japan is an international tourist destination with a lot of tourist attractions like Tokyo Disneyland, Osaka Castle, Akihabara, Asakusa, and Fushimi Inari Shrine. this is end of Nanzenji super rich residence area across the gate is the grounds of Nan Temple which was one of the most prestigious Monastery in medal Japan Tok shun favored and protected n temple in the 1600 and 1700s the temple was granted the whole area on the foot of the mountain that is the main entrance the Autumn color is just beginning predicting the best fall color season is now easy especially in the last 10 years it's November 27th 2024 today normally the season is getting over this week this October and the first half of November were exceptionally warm which made the color change this late we're going to view 100 of amazing autumn colors and decide which one is the best there sign says the emperor the grab is over there Emperor Razer rign the country in the late 900s in Kyoto an emperor grab is not a rare thing Japan has had 126 Emperors for the last 2,000 years morning their meditation practice on the second and fourth Sunday from 6:00 a.m. it's opened everyone and no fees Nan is the head Temple of the Rinzaishu sect Nanzenji group in medal Japan the Mony trained hundred of monks on the grounds today the temple is known as one of the best atim color destinations in Japan this is a nice color I think the leaves change the color 50% % in a week or so it will become all red and orange that is Salon gate which is a common structure in Zen temples the first gate was built in the late 1200 and this one was built in the 1600s making the cultural important property you can go up there to look over the F colors the autumn color normally begins in the middle of November and end in the first week of December in plain areas in eastern and western Japan however as the world climate is getting crazy every year predicting the best season becomes more difficult it tends to be delayed but no one knows when will come if you are coming to Japan to enjoy The Fall season check the updates before coming it looks like we will see more color change across the salon gate eating and drinking are not allowed in most Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines because the grounds are sacred you cannot use tripod and selfie sticks this rule is spreading across Kyoto this is still a 50% change this path to the Hat lecture hall is line with red collar the leaves here are beautiful a lot of people come to Kyoto this time of year using city bus is not a good idea since the traffic can be incredibly heavy especially on weekends. International flight to Japan is not easy, but traveling in Japan is easy when riding Bullet trains. using trains or
Metro is a better way to go around tourist attractions today I took the Koto Metro to come here KAG station is on the Tozai line of the Metro from Kyoto station you need to transfer at Karasuma o station from Karasuma line it takes about 20 minutes making a reservation for accommodation in the second half November and the first week of December is quite difficult in Kyoto you need to do it several months before coming to Kyoto but don't worry you can stay in Osaka to make a day trip to Kyoto it takes only 28 minutes from Osaka station to Kyoto station on the jail line Osaka is Japan's second largest city where a number of hotels are located photo of her spee oh that red and orange color is amazing amazing we're going to get into the temple later you can get into the salon gate it's one of the top three Sanmon gate in hio along with the ChioninTemple and the Higashihonganji temple 600 y were $4 us do it's extremely difficult for large wooden structure to survive for 400 years since there is always risk of fire accidents viewing the Autumn color at 22 m in highight is such a travel experience neni was established in the 1200 as a r Buddhist temple in the 1300s the emperor designated as the best Zen temple of all Rinzai groups like Kenninji and Tofukuji in the 1600 when a high ranked priest from Nanzenji became a counselor to the first too Shogun this Temple was ground privileges let me explain how to get to this place you can come to Kyoto from Osaka by taking JR or Hamkyu Line This is the Cara station on the Hankyu line change to cute Metro on the car suine if you find this vending machine you are in the right place I will get karun for breakfast this is Kyoto's local favorite it's a simple Taste of margarine and ham which you want to have every day get off at the next station karasuma O then change to the Tozai line hop on the train bound for Rokujizo and get off at the K station go to exit number one or you will be on the other side of across road where there no intersection at all we're getting into Tenjuan Temple. Booking a hotel online in Japan is easy when making a reservation at booking.com or agoda.com. people say its Garden has the best Autumn color in the world the entrance fee is only 500 yen it's too good to be true nice pine tree people lining up for the famous window view let's do it later it's awesome look at the color it's all red I think we came here on the best day the combination of red orange and green is perfect this type of garden is rare it's a rock garden where you can also enjoy the brilliant fall color last year when I came here most leaves were gone already this Garden changes colors one week earlier than on the non Temple grounds spe this wave represents a sea and an island it feels more Serene than real water this rock garden was built in the 1600s we're going to another section if feels like a tea house this is a storing garden with a central Pond and Springs Nishiki carp is very expensive maybe $1,000 us a piece this part of garden was built in the 1400s for the majority of the visitor here are foreigners they're from mainland China Taiwan Thailand the Philippines and the other Asian countries it's strange I don't see a tourist from Europe or North America this is Kyoto where people come from all over the world. Traveling in Japan with airliners like JAL, ANA, and Jetstar is not a good option. Bullet Train is the best transportation between Japanese major cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Hiroshima. maybe they're not interested in autumn colors or they have already beautiful autumn leaves in their home countries the entrance is only 500 yen I think people would pay 5,000 yen n Temple is a great Autumn color Place itself but missing the tan subtle is such a waste of life this is the famous window scene this Stone path was said to be the invention of Kobori Enshu Japan's greatest Garden designer of all time he introduced some European Guardian sites to Japan 400 years ago that is a hat lecture fall it's not open to the public it's okay n has another famous tourist attraction this Suirokaku was built 100 years ago it's an authentic brick structure the leaves in the section of still green maybe the sunlight doesn't come down here in 10 days the leaves are going to be brilliant red and orange for in whichever season you visit this place n is an amazing tourist destination I think I'm going to eat Lunch this is a famous restaurant named Junsei it only has a tofu Cuisine starting at 3300 y people say the restaurant has a nice Japanese garden with a lot of Nishikigoi carb I have to wait I should skip lunch because there are many places to visit today no are McDonald in this whole area our next destination is Eikando Temple which many people including me think as the number one Autumn color Garden in the world to get there we need to turn right here but there are things that I need to show you today so we go straight Dairikitei is a super highend only A5 wagyu Beef restaurant me starting from at100 us they have a nice Japanese garden because it was a residence before becoming a restaurant I don't believe this it's already full this must be the Mansion of celebrity I saw a lot of garden workers in this area even the smallest regant in the N reg area needs to spend at least 1 million US dollar each year to maintain its Garden what a nice pine tree it's not just one dozens of them I think each one of them cost as much as a Lambo who owns this residence it looks like the celebrity owns a significant size of the last of the super rich area Nomura family is a founder of Nomura investment Japanese Goldman Sachs no way this is just a back door. Shopping in Japan is a popular activity among tourists. Ginza, Shinjuku, Akihabara have famous shopping streets. there some upscale Regent neighborhood in Tokyo Nagoya and KOBE
this air is different because of the historical feel let's check the traffic on the road this congestion is still better than on weekends going through the markable Autumn col destination area this Road gets too crowded this time of year this is Kyoto city bus number five the only public transportation available in this area look at the line this gets much longer around 400 p.m. n is the name of the stop not everyone can hop on it on weekend this can be more devastating Don takes the bus number five take the Kyoto Metro to get off at the Kang station that is always the right way I don't understand why baked sweet potato truck in the rzy area maybe this is for tourists fresh baked Naruto Kintoki kind is amazing this is a K-car with an oven this color is the best so far a sub stample of n some of them are open to the public we have come back to the street going to the Eikando Temple I only see taxes on the street driving this area is not a good idea no parking this time of here this is strange Uber taxi is illegal in Japan the law says only legitimate drivers can drive Cales in Japan Uber taxi is only an app to call a taxi on weekends it's not easy to find a cab in Kyoto what child with dangerous animals Koto may not be as Urban as people think this is the main entrance of Japanese Goldman Sachs founder HEI Uno's Garden is culturally important property that is only open to the CBA customers right after super expensive Stone world is a Higashiyama high school the best sport School in Kyoto Okajima Hideki who played on Boston Red Sox and Kamata Daichi playing on Newcastle Palace from the school I'm hungry but this soba noodle restaurant is a fall I didn't see any 7-Eleven or place to grab a bite today this upscale residential area hasn't had shops for 100 of years you should finish your lunch before entering this area this is it e Temple still doesn't have the perfect Autumn color maybe just 40% okay you can use a selfie here when it's not too crowed drinking water is overlooked especially in summer when people think of fall colors in Kyoto they think of a condo maybe next week this place will turn all red I like the combination of green and red Z from this week it's getting cold in the morning so the next weekend will be probably the best timing to come people line up to buy tickets I don't think the garden is not that crowded today 1 y most temples only accept cash Eikando Temple was established in 853 it's the head Temple of Group this air is beautiful for speech spee speech this tunnel can be all red in a week mother I think this tree is a highlight of the garden it will be brilliant red and orange hello hello JC temples tend to have Kawaii sings so many different language going on here I think the majority is mandarin Chinese the Buddha statue is a bit influenced by Maria's statue for it looks like this bridge is everybody's favorite that is amazing this air is more red than other parts traditional Tea House menu for spee spe we're going to drop by The Tea House Mochi Dango rice cake stick is a winter food coated with a traditional Japanese sauce the smokiness spreads outside it feels so traditional a Shinto shrine on the Buddhist temple grounds the two region were worshiped together until 150 years ago foreign speech youing spee spe the a cter tour is finished we have one more place to go today our final destination is Ginkakuji Temple a UNESCO world heritage side to get there we walking on the philosopher path which is also a famous tourist attraction you need to turn right this is a nice cafe past this point no restaurants or convenience stores on the way for this is the south end of the Philosopher's path we're going down along the river the past is one mile long people named the path philosopher where famous philosophers walk down to meet inspirational thoughts they always SE Stray Cats hanging out here it's not so crowded now it feels Serene and calming this is what this path was because International tourism changed everything about Kyoto maybe we might meet a deer or wild Bo at night there shampoo hat is a popular comedian group in Osaka they're live broadcasting to all Western Japan this is the end of the philosopher's path we're going to go up the pro to Ginkakuji Temple which is lined with interesting shops I've never heard of Matcha latte this is a world Ali matcha Eespresso this shop has gone too far steamed green tea bun holding fans only 700 yen strawberry rwrapped in a mochi rice cake is so good I've never seen this before ice cream puff not cream puff we're almost there it closes at 5: PM like most Buddhist temples do no drinks or food no selfie sticks you cannot fry drawn in more cities in Japan the after name of Shojiji Temple is hii which almost Nobody Knows the past makes me feel like I'm entering a different world the anent fee for the a world haage such is only 500 y so generous only cash the visitor before me has a problem with payment this is not the ticket it's a sacred amulet where Buddha resides I like this symmetrical visual entertainment with the wall this scene can be pretty boring entering the world of traditional Japan the structure was built in 1489 and has never been revealed since then people tend to compare it to King Kakui Temple because Kinkakuji means golden Pavilion where the Ginkaku silver Pavilion as you can see there's no silver on it or never had before it was a cover with lacquer instead it's a strange that no one knows exactly why it was named silver Pavilion most Vis prefers the golden Pavilion over this place because everybody loves the gold best but when it comes to the Garden this place can beat Kinkakuji Temple that house is too a national treasure it was built in 1486 as a reading room for Ashikaga y Yoshimasa the Ethan Shogun like the silver Pavilion it has survived many events like Civil Wars for 500 years I like this mini Rock Garden this is a top level St in garden the a this ashikaga Shogun was disappointed at his incapable political power so many Samurai laws became powerful and Cheng his power he seemed to look to escape from reality and invested himself in fine art that was motivation that led him to build this serene world this residence is not as gorgeous as the golden Pavilion with the Serge Shogun built when the Shogun power was at Pinnacle but this is the best he could do as the powerless ruler of the country for this Garden is so beautiful a lot better than Kinkakuji there's no question that Shogun Yoshimasa was a great artist fore spee speech spech spe this is amazing the silver Pavilion survived 500 years the golden Pavilion failed to do that 75 years ago a young trainee monk set fire to it most stru and K were destroyed in Civil War of the 1400s the a Shogun was a tragic ruler of the country he couldn't do anything to stop the war that lasted 11 years and then he was helpless to stop his shut from becoming a just a name oh I think this is the best spot to take pictures of the Pavilion it's too bad many visitors just go through it spe spee J is the best season to visit Ginkakuji Temple the moss on the ground becomes brilliant in the rain season Kingakuji Ginkakuji argument never ends Kinkakuji always wins a popularity contest however Ginkakuji always has steady supporters for spe thanks for watching and I'll see in the next video
