Transport in Kyoto
- charlieb: Is the bus pass still worth getting? I've heard the subways are faster even if they don't go everywhere.
Food in Kyoto
- mike_84: Found a tiny standby gyoza place in an alley near Kawaramachi that was way better than the famous spots. Look for the red lantern with no English sign.
Activities in Kyoto
- sarahk: Highly recommend doing the Fushimi Inari hike at like 6 AM. By 9 AM it was a complete zoo and totally lost the vibe.
Costs in Kyoto
- lucas__: Everything in Gion is so overpriced just for the aesthetic lol. Better to eat in the northern part of the city if you're on a budget.
Hidden gems in Kyoto
- emily_98: Does anyone know if Otagi Nenbutsu-ji is easy to reach by bike? I want to avoid the crowds at Arashiyama.
