day 1 in Kyoto: Nijo Castle, Kyoto Imperial Palace, and exploring Pontocho Alley Nijo Castle: 800 yen (spent 1 hour) Kyoto Imperial Palace: free entry (spent 1 hour) we got turned away from the Kyoto Imperial Palace at 3:20pm lol so we hung out at out hotel before dinner but for all intensive purposes of this vlog, I’m going to include the footage from our visit here bc ideally, we would’ve done them in the same day
