Creator's Key Takeaways

We live fulltime on the Villa Odyssey residential cruise ship and we share all things cruise ports and all things cruise life.

So, when we see a shrine, we know it's Shinto. If it's a temple, we know it's Buddhism.

We let our good friend Rick always pick the restaurants because he's really good at it. And time after time again, he always picks a winner.

I was told I must try black sesame ice cream. And I don't know what to compare it to. It's creamy, buttery, nutty. I can't compare it to anything but to black sesame, but it is really good and I'm glad I tried it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Visit Kyoto in cooler weather to avoid the heat and humidity.
✓Use the communal amenities areas in Japanese hotels to save packing space.
✓Let a knowledgeable friend pick restaurants for the best dining experiences.
