A Japanese student’s Guide to Kyoto – Beyond the crowds

I'm a 25-year-old Japanese grad student living in Kyoto. I recently started a Substack newsletter in English where I write about:

• ⁠Japanese movies, and travel tips — from a local's point of view
If you're into Japan, slow travel, or cross-cultural life, I'd be happy if you check it out:

Would love to hear your favorite spots in Kyoto or Japan too. Thanks for reading!
