Good morning.

Welcome to Tokyo Creative Play with Jordan, how are you?

We are in Kyoto and we just stayed at this amazing hotel.

This is legit, like one of the best hotel.

I kind of love this hotel.

We stayed here last night, so we've already had a little bit of time here already.

And my favorite thing so far has been the food.

We had amazing like vegan course menu with like and all of this vegetable, vegetable bowl thing around it.

The Dashi was like 100% made from vegetables.

It was like a true vegan experience.

There's so many special things about this hotel.

I mean the food yet, we just had breakfast, that's like a whole other story.

It's amazing.

So this hotel is called Good Nature Station and there's so many like environmentally friendly things about it as well.

There's so much to say about this place is like a shop downstairs as well as the marketplace.

You can get lots of organic products that you can't find in a lot of places and things and health conscious and ice cream and cake store.

Certainly like little special cakes, there's just so much to do here.

It's crazy and like it's like in the center of where everything is happening.

So it's really, really nice to stay here.

I'm definitely coming back rooms were super nice as well.

There was, you know, their spacious, there's a lot of like wood everywhere.

It feels very natural, very nice.

One of the key things, the hotel goes like sustainability.

So there's no plastic in the rooms and the plastic in the stores.

Forget your toothbrush for example, there's no plastic amenities in the room.

You have to go downstairs and awesome for a toothbrush and you think I'm gonna get a plastic toothbrush, bamboo.

This place has so much going on, you know, there's marketplaces, the hotel, but also they have their own brand as well.

They have like cosmetics and food.

It's nuts.

This place is crazy unfortunately.

And unfortunately we gotta go, we gotta continue the day we got to explore more and enjoy what Kyoto has to offer.

So shall we leave in this three video series myself, Jordan's Alex and Hachi decided to adventure around kansai.

We use trains, cable cars and rope, ways to discover what secrets kansai has to offer.

We headed for the World Heritage Site liaison in Yakushiji Temple, a temple based in the mountains 848 m above sea level.

You can get there from Kyoto city by taking the train cable car and then a roadway for just a few minutes at a time.

Good stuff please.

Coffee please.

Damn you guys demanding we've done it.

We've made it to the top of your Sancho.

It's nice.

There's a little bit of koryo happening.

A little bit of autumn leaves, you can see these cities on the top.

Yeah, yeah, we're doing a little bit of hiking, excited for the hiking, hiking.

It's very nice.

Your hiker, I could be your hiking shoes on.

I do have shoes on.

Let's hike.

Okay.

We've just arrived at Hazan in Yakushiji Temple which is on the border of Shiga and Kyoto Prefecture.

Tochigi temple is actually the name of 150 different temples and related buildings.

It's actually covers 1700 hectares.

So it's a big temple with a lot to see.

We're going to go and see it.

I don't know if we're going to see all of it.

It's almost 2000 hectors definitely not.

The temple is actually built to protect Kyoto during a time of a great strife was actually built on the border for that region.

That was probably during the towards like the southwest.

So they built the temple actually protect guilty which is in the capital at the time.

So they actually named after the period was built in.

That's why it's the temple.

Let's go in and explore a little bit.

Let's go look it up.

Yeah, So as I said the temple is very big of 1700 hectares.

We won't actually covered the east part of the temple.

There's actually also a bit just the left of it, the West area, a river section and also one that's right at the bottom of the mountain.

It's so big.

There's there's so much to see around here also it's it's autumn right now.

Let's call you everywhere.

So it's just beautiful.

It's really really nice and relaxing and peaceful to walk around after this.

We're heading to Fiji.

We are indeed.

Get some macho.

Yeah, he's so famous for macho.

I've had some before.

It's so good.

Have you have, you can never have guides to show me the way, show me the way we're here in C.

G.

D.

A.

You wanted to try some of these delicious mattress sweets.

That's what we can find, shall we?

Yeah.

I think there's a cafe that I was looking at.

It looks really really good.

There's so much to choose from.

Honestly.

I feel like it's a different kind of flavor to other kinds of mantua.

It's very very earthy and rich and I'm a big fan.

But yeah the market is like one of the most famous man.

Thank you.

They're here.

That sounds so here.

I got the cafe, there's so much going on in it.

I can't wait what did you get?

I got very excited.

I'm very excited.

There's so much going on in this.

I feel like I got to describe each thing.

I also put a very thick green tea syrup over the top of it.

I'm going to dig in.

The smell is so intense.

It's very very much do you guys like I used to not like it and then it really grew on me.

Really good.

How was it already know wow, It's just so incredibly Maci.

It's so oh my gosh, it's like sweet, creamy and then it's just like I feel like when I breathe out through my nose, it's so, it's okay.

That's the ice cream.

What is this?

I don't know if I'm gonna take a bite or eat the whole thing.

Mhm.

What is it chocolate already?

It's good.

Hmm, mm So good.

How's yours?

I'm a fan of Suki and this comes with like this improv like toasted Suzuki on top.

It's just fantastic.

The energy matter.

It's so good.

It's so intense, right?

This one's more like, it's a straight simple Martha.

You get to understand what the mantra is and also has like a few complex layers to it.

It's called the Suzuki that added sweetness and having Martha and also has like this big old chunk of roasted and maci, which I'm saving to the end because it's my favorite thing about the red bean in it too.

For like, hey, there's a little bit of a different flavor and then I eat the red bean.

I'm like, I want more money.

Like the red bean is like a palate cleanser for the macho, you know what I mean?

Like the Suzuki is a really good powdered cleanser.

Like being down the March.

It's really good to get a little Xueqian.

They're very fresh cleanse that palate right back to the March.

It is really good that we can eat in the city, but I think we should learn a little bit more about the history.

I got a little bit more about the macho.

But let's finish these first.

Then we're gonna head to a museum.

We just checked out the museums section of cheetahs and I had a pretty good time learned a lot about T.

Yeah, it did contain some tea secrets so we're not allowed to show you the footage.

I'm very sorry, but we did learn a lot about the history and everything.

So if you're in the area please check out.

It was very cool.

But we have drunk a lot of T.

Today.

We went up a mountain.

Oh my gosh, yes, it's been a good day man on the mountain.

I loved the mountain.

I'm not going to lie.

I loved it too.

That might have been my best today.

We've experienced a lot today.

But if you've been interested in any of the places that we visited, please check them out on the links in description down below.

But yeah, this place also is really easy to get to if you're going to Kyoto for a holiday.

I know Kyoto is really popular to go to.

So just easy trains.

Easy travel is a really good time.

But yeah, thanks for hanging out with me.
