β€œFound a moss temple through the hidden gems section that had zero tourists. Sat there for 30 minutes in complete silence. That one spot made the whole Kyoto leg worth it.”

β€œAlmost booked a kaiseki dinner in Gion for JPY20,000. The guide pointed us to a neighborhood spot at a third of the price that turned out to be even better. Multi-course lunch for JPY3,500.”

β€œThe Nara day trip section had timing advice I didn't find anywhere else. Got to the deer park at 8am and had it basically to ourselves. By 10am it was shoulder-to-shoulder.”
