Rainy days in Kyoto have a quiet, unique beauty unlike sunny days.
Join me on a peaceful solo trip for adults in their 40s, away from the crowds, exploring wet gardens, lush moss, and quiet temples. In this Vlog, while visiting beautiful hidden gem spots in Kyoto, I talk about how I spent my late 30s repeatedly changing jobs and searching for my "place in the world," and the turning point that finally brought my long "journey of self-discovery" to an end.

Please enjoy a quiet trip to Kyoto where you can experience your own private front-row seat with no one else around 🍵
