In today’s Japan cruise vlog, we docked in Maizuru and made our way into the heart of Kyoto—and wow, what a day! First stop: the breathtaking Golden Pavilion (Kinkaku-ji). This shimmering Zen temple, wrapped in gold leaf and reflected in a peaceful pond, was even more stunning in person. It left us absolutely speechless.
But the day didn’t end there.
Next, we headed to the legendary Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, and it truly felt like stepping into another world. Towering stalks of bamboo swayed above us as we walked the quiet path—it was peaceful, surreal, and something we’ll never forget.
If you're cruising to Japan or planning a visit to Kyoto, this is the kind of day you dream about.
🌸 Come along as we explore Kyoto’s most iconic sights, experience a bit of culture shock, and soak in the magic of Japan.
