Kyoto, Japan Part One: Thousands of temples, gardens, and historical sites.

Exploring thousands of Kyoto's temples, gardens, and historical sites is impossible. But our top spots in Kyoto are a good start when visiting Japan. Just an FYI: We've primarily used Klook to book our activities in Japan. And I was able to get Klook to provide an exclusive promo code for a 10% discount for new customers and a 3% discount for existing customers. Click the link below and enter (MMTRAVELJOURNAL) in the promo spot when booking an activity. https://affiliate.klook.com/redirect?... Klook does have some conditions: The total must be at least $50 USD. $50 USD is the maximum discount. You can use the promo code 5 different times. The discount will be shown on the payment page. We've also found Get Your Guide is easy to book activities as well. https://getyourguide.tp.st/7iNsaX3i Also, I’ve spoken with several people who have been using pocket WIFI and other mobile WIFI services while in Japan. Don’t do that! It’s not cost effective compared to other options, plus you have to carry around a wifi device in your pocket. I highly recommend using an ESIM. An ESIM is an electronic sim card on your phone. An ESIM will get you as much 5G data as you want - and you can always add more. We have an international phone plan with our wireless carrier, but we still prefer to set up a local ESIM on our phones when we're travelling. The data speeds are faster and way cheaper. Plus you won’t have your data speed throttled if you use too much in one day. I don’t even bother connecting to hotel WIFI anymore, and I still enjoy doing things like watching Youtube videos in bed. I’ve used many different ESIM plans. I’ve found some work better than others in certain countries. For example, I use Holafly when I’m in Mexico. And for Japan, I’ve found Ubigi is the best. It provides broad 5G coverage for as little as $4 USD. Check out the specific Japan data plans with the link below. https://few.cellulardata.ubigi.com/?P... If you’re interested, below is the camera equipment I used to make this video. Canon EOS R6 Mark II https://amzn.to/4gYGXBS The Lens I used most of the time was the RF 24-70 https://amzn.to/3zI1BWj I used the RF 16mm prime in a few shots. I like bringing this one on all my trips because it’s super wide, cheap, and doesn’t take up much room. https://amzn.to/3U3ZMcW
