Few weeks ago I asked for help on r/JapanTravelTips about how to get to Kamo Shrine. Since I was traveling solo, renting a car wasn’t an option, so I thought about biking there instead. While searching on Tiktok for possible routes, someone unexpectedly reached out and offered to show me around Kyoto.
We ended up visiting not only Kamo Shrine but also Adashino, Otagi, and a few other spots. I’m really glad I got to explore these places especially during sakura season when the popular areas are packed. As a bonus, he even took me through Japan’s most haunted tunnel (which he was kind enough to let me experience).
This isn't a promo but I just genuinely want to give a shoutout to japanese.konnichi on tiktok for being so kind and helpful. If you're ever in Kyoto or even elsewhere in Japan, he’s someone you can definitely reach out to. He even gave me great tips for Hiroshima too!

Adashino is so far away, by the end of my day (last week) I had walked almost 35k steps on my northern Kyoto tour. It was so tiring, it took a bit out of the enjoyment
