I'm going to Kyoto during a busy season. But I love beautiful little serene places. I think I'm more exited about the small temples along the philosopher's path than the big name ones. I value a lack of crowds.
I'll share some of the hidden gem places I've discovered, to give you an idea what I'm talking about. What's your favorite little spots that make you feel like you should sit there all day and bask in the good vibes?
