Searching for autumn in Gion, Kyoto - wandering, temples, trees, cats VLOG

We spent the afternoon walking around one of the famous preserved parts of Kyoto - Gion. This is the second part of our day, in the morning we went to Fushimi Inari. We were on the hunt for autumn foliage. In the cities, the Japanese maples had only started to turn when we were visiting. The cherries and ginkgos were amazing though!

Places visited:
1. Kennin-ji
2. Yasaka Shrine
Walked past:
3. Chion-in
4. Shoren-in
5. Gyobashi bridge
6. Tatsumi Jinja
7. PuchiMarry - Cat cafe
8. Kura Sushi Teramachi

Rest assured for those visiting in autumn. Even if some trees might not be perfect, other species are likely popping off!

Also, if you venture into the mountains, their foliage change time seems to be about a week before the cities.
