- There are few things more magical than exploring a new place and having your mind blown at every turn. That’s exactly what happened during my trip to Japan in January of 2019. I spent 12 amazing days traveling around the island nation and during that time, Japan became one of my all-time favorite destinations. Find out why I love this country so much by following my Japanese travel and food vlog series!

On my second and final day in Kyoto, I wanted to explore more of this ancient, historical city and, of course, try more amazing Japanese cuisine! Come along with me as I take you on a fascinating tour of Kiyomizu Dera Temple and then join me for a delicious tofu hotpot lunch!
I started at a very touristy street that was lined with restaurants and souvenir shops, that sold everything from hats to decorative fans to elegant chopsticks! On my way to find some ice cream, I tried some delicious mochis as I made my way through the crowd. I tried a black sesame with honey ice cream cone (300 Yen/$2.69 U.S.). It was nutty and sweet, with a crispy cone and a crunchy cracker on top. It was so good and exactly what I needed!
My next stop was Kiyomizu-dera Temple, a huge Buddhist temple in eastern Kyoto that was founded by Sakanoue no Tamuramaro in the year 778 A.D. during the early Heian period, though the buildings that currently stand on the site were built in 1633 by Tokugawa Iemitsu. In addition to being a gorgeous Buddhist temple, Kiyomizu-dera Temple is one of the 17 Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto UNESCO World Heritage sites in and around Kyoto.
No nails were used in the construction of the temple complex, which includes a stunning main hall that contains a large veranda and some of the most amazing woodwork I’ve ever seen in my life, a pagoda, the Otowa-no-taki waterfall, a matchmaking shrine and Torii gate, and more! The temple overlooks Kyoto, so you also get some spectacular views of the city. It costs 400 Yen/$3.59 U.S. to enter the temple, which is such a bargain because there are so many things to see and do there.
Just note that you should probably be in good shape before visiting this temple; getting around it and climbing the stairs is a lot of exercise. I got winded climbing the stairs and I’m in good shape. It was worth it, though. Exploring historical sites is my favorite thing to do when I travel. I can’t get enough of it!
After debating what I wanted to have for lunch, I decided to go for some traditional tofu hotpot at Shimizu-Zyuntadashi-Okabeya. There, I tried their Yudofu tofu hot pot (2,160 Yen/$19.39 U.S.) and cold sake (670 Yen/$6.01 U.S.).
The Yudofu comes with tofu with wasabi, cubed tofu, tea, rice, pickles, ginger, vegetable tempura, fried tofu on a stick, and more. The sake was nice and cold and came in a small container.
The tofu with soy sauce and herbs was light, soft, and spongy, and so delicious! The pickles were great as well, including one that was like a pickled kelp. The vegetable tempura (which included eggplant, shishito peppers, and sweet potato) was very nice and lightly deep-fried with a light batter.
Next, I went with the fried tofu, which had a cheesy marmalade on top. The tofu wasn’t too soft and was pretty thick and extremely tasty, while the wasabi tofu was sweeter with a bit of spice. I also tried another, brownish tofu that was also kind of sweet, with a bit of garlic flavor as well as a really succulent shrimp.
That tofu meal wasn’t very big, but it was extremely filling! The entire meal came to 2,830 Yen/$25.40 U.S.
Then I went in search of some Kyoto coffee while walking along a pedestrian street of souvenir shops and old, traditional homes. I stopped at a cozy coffee shop called Garakuta, where I got a strong and delicious straight black, no-drip coffee, which was exactly what I needed to wake up after an eventful morning and afternoon!

LOL..that green vegetable thing isn't a pickle--it's an okra / lady's finger. You're dropping food here and there when you eat and bite down. You're too cute! LOL
Welcome to Japan.
I am a Japanese.
This is all Chinese music.
Please do not use the music of China.
Japan and China are different.

🧧The temples 🎏 ate magnificent. Omg, the snow is stunning.❤️👍🏼 ty
Great video. 😌🎎
David, I lived in Japan for about 4 years and the way you add soy sauce into the rice is very against Japanese custom. I have seen them take away the rice when you have added soy sauce into the rice, as if you made a terrible mistake! They revere the rice. You never add anything into it. Just a hint from a friend, trying to have your back.
I almost screamed when I saw that. This show should be called "I don't know what I am doing, I have no idea what I am talking about but I am going to say everything with confidence, so other people think it's a fact".
Eating more soy sauce than rice.
@@The666link666 He is visiting a new country, how is he supposed to know everything.
I had a similar meal in Kyoto at a restaurant called Junsei. So good and I plan to eat it again when I return in a couple of months.
When are you coming to New Zealand?

I visited here in 2010 and am heading back next May. Can't wait to see this place again although I wish the renovations were over by then.

Love your channel. A suggestion to not burn your mouth in Asian countries. Take smaller bites... Everyone here serves burning hot food!
Hey bud, when eating don't take you mouth to the plate take the plate to your mouth, japanese do it that way, its way better etiquette annnddd I almost had an heart attack when you had the sauce in the rice, like for REAL, just do that at home lol xD they will eventually take it away if they see that mess thinking u did a mistake and perhaps take it to heart, jus saying!!! ..

ご飯に醤油や出汁をかけないで下さい。
それはご飯に対する冒涜です。ご飯は日本人の心。
白いご飯の美味さを味わって欲しいです。
Cringing watching you eat...a guide would have been a good idea...you could have copied
Do not eat while walking in japan that’s disrespectful
