I visited in November, and arriving in Kyoto felt like a breath of fresh air after the beautiful chaos of Tokyo!
Stepping into Kyoto feels like walking straight into heaven especially in autumn, when every tree is glowing in shades of red, yellow, and soft orange. In Kyoto, I felt like I could finally hear my own thoughts again. The temples, the rivers, the narrow alleys.. it really felt like a reset and not just a visit.
Highly recommended!
