Exploring the winding streets of Kyoto remains one of my most cherished travel memories. The serene beauty of the bamboo groves, the timeless charm of ancient temples, and the vibrant energy of Gion during a festival stole my heart. Each corner of this city felt like stepping into a different era. As I gear up for my next adventure, I'm pondering a return to Japan, perhaps venturing to the tranquil landscapes of Hokkaido. Anyone with tips or must-see spots? Let’s wander together! ✈️🌏
