After several visits to Kyoto and seeking out authentic Kyoto foods, here’s where I recommend.

Just outside of central Kyoto, Uji is great for Japanese sights and matcha.

Japan’s fall colors are absolutely beautiful, and Kyoto is one of the best places to go for them.

There's a different side of Kyoto that goes beyond the temples and shrines, and they are worth experiencing.

Good at any time of year, Kyoto is best known for its temples and shrines. Here are some to definitely see.
