After a tourist crowded day in Kyoto the previous day, Ying and I decided to get an early start to our day in Kyoto on this day and we woke up and headed straight to the famous Fushimi Inari Shrine (Taisha) – which is most well known for its Japanese red Torii shrine gates.

00:18 Fushimi Inari Shrine – We started off at Fushimi Inari Shrine, and we luckily arrived early and beat the crowds – in fact there were only a few other people there when we arrived, it was so incredibly peaceful and quiet. I didn’t know we were going to climb then entire mountain, but when we started hiking up the hill, walking through the endless red Torii shrine gates, we just kept going and we decided to just make it up to the top – which was well worth it. The walk to the summit of Fushimi Inari Shrine was fantastic, but the real joy was getting there and enjoying the quiet peaceful outdoors. By the time we walked down to the entrance of the shrine, it was already getting busy. Fushimi Inari Shrine is one of the best things to do in Kyoto, and it really is a must visit place.

4:21 Matsuba Soba Kyoto (総本家にしんそば 松葉 本店) – I had really wanted to eat a soba meal when we were in Kyoto, and so after we packed our bags we went to a restaurant called Matsuba Soba Kyoto (総本家にしんそば 松葉 本店), famous for serving local Kyoto style soba noodles. I ordered the herring noodles, which came with a bowl of soba noodles in clear broth with a side of fish that tasted like barbecue. It was quite good, very fresh tasting, and very good quality. It was a little expensive, but I enjoyed the experience.

8:16 Nishiki Market (錦市場) – One of the most famous places to walk around and eat in Kyoto is the Nishiki Market (錦市場), and though we didn’t have too much extra time, I did want to stop in for a bit to walk around before we left Kyoto. The market was great, so much good food throughout the walking street, and many of the vendors were also very friendly. I had a small fish on a chopstick, and that was my snack as we walked around the Nishiki Market (錦市場).

10:00 Kyoto back to Osaka – We took the train, and although our train was delayed by about 30 minutes, we made it back to Osaka smoothly, and we navigated our way to our new Airbnb apartment that we had pre-booked. Everything went well.

11:57 Dinner at a Japanese Diner – For dinner, we were all quite tired, so we just went to a simple Japanese diner restaurant just a short walk from where we were staying, and we had a nice simple Japanese dinner. I had the Oyakodon (親子丼), a chicken and eggs rice bowl.

  1. How Ying can let you lay on top of her and f#*k her is baffling. You creep me out every time you speak and the noises you make when eating is horrendous

  2. Slurping your noodles means that the noodles are delicious and also means respect and thanks to the chef, but don't overdo it. Might get some attention from other customers;;

  3. the Inari shrine gates are beautiful. I just wanted to know when you got in the fork in the road and you went to the left hand side did you make the right choice? it seems like you did you got a beautiful view of Kyoto! I'm so glad you made it there and it looks so peaceful so you got there at the right time enjoy the rest of your trip I know I'm enjoying it with you all my best always and God bless you both????

  4. Thanks for the tips Mark! I just went up Mt Inari today and was also glad to be there early – really makes a difference. Especially since we went from there to the bamboo grove and to Kinkaku-ji this afternoon which was packed with tourists… by the way, we also went to the small restaurant from your hidden gems video (5:10) which was excellent and to rangetsu in ginza for sukiyaki 🙂 I saw you will be posting Zurich .. too bad you didn't come to Bern 🙂 Greetings and thanks!

  5. I think it would be a good idea to start to try to cook your own food based on what you've learned by traveling. Home dinner experimentation with your wife maybe? I love your videos the most on youtube for sure, but being a woman and seeing your wife always behind you while you make your videos makes me feel as if she may be lonely. Eating with someone most times is the best and maybe only time you get to spend with your family. Even though you two are traveling together youre always making a blog with camera in hand…probably talking more to the camera than youre wife. Not to make accusations, that is just what it looks like from the viewer (I cannot speak for anyone else, just myself). And the fact that it seems you're always recording yourself or she is recording you while you eat makes me think she is being neglected possibly a bit. A home cooked series of you with your child and wife may even put your youtube career in even more success and stature within every community. And I would love a shirt and hat anytime! Many Blessings! – Natalie

  6. Very nice video. I was sipping where did you eat. 😀

    I want to go to Kyoto this year and want to see the Fushimi Inari-Taisha Shrine. So I came to your video.

  7. i love your personality but the only thing i dont like is how you just take parts of other peoples food maybe she wanted that part? i mean i dont know if you ask het off camera but i get a little annoyed by that
