Very nice video to get a impression of Kyoto. Can you tell a bit about the hopitality of the people in Japan? I'm thinking about going on vacation to that area, the culture seems verry interresting.

@2idiot4u Thanks! Japanese people are EXTREMELY polite, and if you get the chance to hang out with one, they are very hospitable, only thing is that many of them are somewhat shy around foreigners, especially if they aren't confident in their foreign language skills, therefore it can be a bit difficult to get them to open up at first.

Like I said though, they are super polite so no matter where you go you can always expect people to treat you very well.

I had the chance to and I regret that I didn't. I was too busy taking pictures instead but wish I would have thought about the video. They typically can only been seen around noon and midnight. Geishas are definitely very cool to see when in that area.
