Arriving in Kyoto

Kyoto has always been on my bucket list. The blend of ancient tradition and modern life is mesmerizing.

Fushimi Inari Taisha

We started our day early at Fushimi Inari to avoid the crowds. The thousands of vermilion torii gates are a sight to behold.

Gear Used

• Camera: Sony A7IV
• Lens: 24-70mm f/2.8 GM II

The Food

You can’t visit Kyoto without trying the Matcha. We stopped at a small tea house in Gion and had the best Matcha parfait of my life.

Gallery

I took over 500 photos on this trip, but here are a few of my favorites. The lighting during the golden hour was absolutely perfect for capturing the textures of the old wooden temples.

Can’t wait for the next adventure!
