京都へようこそ：シンガポールからの旅人のためのやさしいガイド
Welcome to Kyoto – From Yanashow!
Hi, I’m Yanashow – a Kyoto local, and this blog is for you – Singaporean travelers who are planning to visit Kyoto for the first time!
I’ve never been to Singapore (not yet!), but through social media, I’ve come to love the country.
So now, I want to return the feeling – by helping you discover the beauty of Kyoto.
Let’s connect across cultures, cities, and stories.
日本語でちょっとだけ：
こんにちは、やなしょうです。京都からシンガポールのみなさんへ、観光ガイドを書いています。つながれることがとてもうれしいです！
What Makes Kyoto So Special?
Kyoto is not just a city – it’s a place where history, nature, and culture live together.
Compared to Tokyo, Kyoto is quieter, more traditional, and full of charm.
Highlights:
- Over 1,000 years of history as Japan’s old capital
- Famous temples, shrines, and traditional streets
- Amazing food culture, including matcha, tofu, and sweets
- Four seasons that change the city’s colors and mood
Top 3 Places You Shouldn’t Miss
1. Fushimi Inari Shrine – 千本鳥居
Thousands of red torii gates create magical photo spots.
It’s open 24 hours and free to enter.
2. Arashiyama Bamboo Grove – 嵐山の竹林
Feel the peaceful nature, take a walk through the tall bamboo, and visit the nearby monkey park.
3. Nishiki Market – 錦市場
Local street food, snacks, souvenirs, and a taste of real Kyoto.
Try: Yatsuhashi (sweet), Tako Tamago (baby octopus snack), and more!
