New Video Alert: Kyoto, Japan

Overtourism is a problem, but we found some really nice spots

Kyoto is one of the most beautiful cities in the world—and one of the most crowded.

Consider this: Japan’s oldest city has 1.5 million residents, yet gets 50 million tourists yearly.
But in the latest episode of Photowalks, we take you to the other side of Kyoto—the quieter, lesser-known neighborhoods most visitors never see.

With help from a local guide, we escape the overtourism of Gion and explore peaceful bamboo forests, rural temples dating back to the year 810, family-run farms, a traditional indigo artist, and historic Japanese homes—all without the masses.

Enjoy!
