I came to Kyoto for autumn leavesโ€ฆ and found a LEGENDARY Pokรฉmon ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ

In all my time in Japan, Iโ€™d never actually seen a Pokรฉ Lid. Then, wandering Arashiyama after visiting Yusai-tei, I nearly walked right over Ho-Oh ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Pokรฉ Lids (ใƒใ‚ฑใตใŸ) are Pokรฉmon manhole covers found all over Japan, and each area gets a Pokรฉmon with a local connection. Ho-Oh definitely represents Kyoto. Its name comes from ้ณณๅ‡ฐ (hลล), the phoenix that sits on top of Kinkaku-ji, and thereโ€™s a big Ho-Oh statue at the Kyoto Pokรฉmon Center too.

๐Ÿ“ Arashiyama Park, a short walk from Togetsukyล Bridge. Exact pin in the comments ๐Ÿ“Œ

Itโ€™s super easy to find, right on the main tourist path.
Save this for your Kyoto trip ๐Ÿ

Hereโ€™s the story ๐Ÿ‘‡

In most of Japan, October is called Kannazuki (็ฅž็„กๆœˆ), the โ€œmonth without godsโ€. The belief is that Japanโ€™s 8 million gods all travel to Izumo Taisha in Shimane for a yearly meeting. In Izumo, the same month is called Kamiarizuki (็ฅžๅœจๆœˆ), the โ€œmonth WITH godsโ€ โ›ฉ๏ธ

What are they meeting about? Fate, love and connections for the year ahead. Izumo Taisha is one of Japanโ€™s most famous shrines for en-musubi (็ธ็ตใณ), the making of good connections ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Two things to know before you go:
๐Ÿ”ธ The giant shimenawa (sacred rope) weighs several tonnes
๐Ÿ”ธ At Izumo Taisha you clap 4 times, not 2 (2 bows, 4 claps, 1 bow)

Save this for your Shimane trip ๐Ÿ“Œ
Would you ask the gods for love or luck? ๐Ÿ‘‡

Could you get the perfect shot in 60 seconds? โฑ๏ธ๐Ÿ

This is Yusai-tei in Arashiyama, one of Kyotoโ€™s most famous autumn views. And thereโ€™s a whole system to get it ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿช‘ Line up and wait your turn
โฑ๏ธ Sit down = your 60 seconds start
๐Ÿ‘‰ Then shuffle along to the next window

Honestly? Worth every second. The reds through those round windows are even better in person ๐Ÿ˜

๐Ÿ“Œ Know before you go:
โ€ข Autumn = reservation only, through the official Yusai-tei website (it sells out fast)
โ€ข Autumn entry was ยฅ3,000 last year, paid online in advance
โ€ข No kids under 12 during autumn season, and no tripods
โ€ข 10 min walk from Togetsukyo Bridge
โ€ข Book the first slot of the day for the fewest people

Fun fact: Nobel Prize-winning author Yasunari Kawabata wrote in one of these rooms โœ๏ธ

Is this Japanโ€™s MOST underrated castle? ๐Ÿฏ

Matsue Castle in Shimane is one of only 12 original castles left in Japan. Itโ€™s jet black, the views from the top are unreal, and there were barely any crowds.

Would you visit? Save this for your Japan trip ๐Ÿ“Œ

โ€œEw, why is my teacher trying to be an influencer?โ€ ๐Ÿ˜…

Is it still cringe? Maybe.
Do I care? Not anymore.

The same students who laughed and questioned it are now some of my biggest supporters ๐Ÿ““๐Ÿค

Turns out showing them itโ€™s okay to try something new, even if it looks a little silly, was one of the best lessons I could teach.

Living in Hyogo for a year taught me this prefecture has way more going on than people realise ๐Ÿ‘€

So I handpicked spots that are special to me! Inspiring you to visit Hyogo and add to your Japan itinerary๐Ÿ“Œ

๐Ÿ“ Arima Onsen โ€” soak in gold AND silver hot springs
๐Ÿ“ Awaji Island โ€” yes thereโ€™s a life-size Godzilla you can zip line into
๐Ÿ“ Himeji Castle โ€” the real deal, incredible castle
๐Ÿ“ Nunobiki Herb Garden โ€” waterfall trail and gorgeous nature
๐Ÿ“ Minatogawa Tunnel โ€” a monthly concert inside an old train tunnel
๐Ÿ“ Honpuku-ji โ€” a temple you walk DOWN into, under a lotus pond (Legend of Zelda vibes)
๐Ÿ“ Kinosaki Onsen โ€” 7 onsen, one yukata, zero regrets
๐Ÿ“ Takeda Castle โ€” Japanโ€™s actual Ghibli โ€œCastle in the Skyโ€

Want the full breakdown? I put together a free Hyogo & Kobe Hidden Gems Guide with 10 spots, sample routes and all the practical details โ€” link in my bio ๐Ÿ“Ž

Save this before you forget it exists ๐Ÿ“Œ

Tell me which oneโ€™s going straight on your list ๐Ÿ‘‡

Would you struggle through the crowd for this view? ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘€

Every November, Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto opens at night for just 10 days, and a blue beam shoots into the sky that looks straight out of Your Name (ๅ›ใฎๅใฏ) โœจ The light represents the compassion of Kannon, the Goddess of Mercy. Below it, around 1,000 maple trees glow around the 13m wooden stage, built in 1633 without a single nail.

There was no mercy on the walk up ๐Ÿ˜… Beautiful? Absolutely. Peaceful? Not even slightly.

๐Ÿ“… Autumn Night Viewing: Nov 21โ€“30, 2026
๐Ÿ•˜ Open until 21:30 (last entry 21:00), no booking needed
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Small separate night ticket (around ยฅ500)
๐Ÿ’ก Tip: go closer to when the temple closes! There will be far less people there than when it opens!

Comment โ€œMERCYโ€ if youโ€™d still go, or tag someone who loves Your Name ๐Ÿ‘‡
