Save this for your Antelope Canyon trip in Page, Arizona 🏜️👇

If you’re deciding between Upper Antelope Canyon, Lower Antelope Canyon and Canyon X, don’t overlook Canyon X. It’s a lesser-known option with incredible sandstone formations and typically fewer crowds.

A few helpful tips:
📍 Located near Page, Arizona
🎟️ A guided tour is required
⏰ Morning/midday tours generally give you brighter light inside the canyon
👟 Wear comfortable shoes & expect sandy and uneven terrain
🎒 Check your tour operator’s current bag and camera restrictions before arriving
🌦️ Tours can be canceled due to weather and flash-flood risk

We loved how different the canyon looked around every turn! Definitely one to consider for an Arizona road trip or Page, Arizona itinerary.

💬 Comment “TOUR” and we’ll send you the link to the Canyon X tour we booked.

This is what Shinsaibashi-suji, Osaka looks like every night 😳🇯🇵

Shinsaibashi-suji (心斎橋筋商店街) is Osaka’s famous 600-meter covered shopping street, connecting Shinsaibashi Station to Dotonbori. Walk through the arcade and you’ll end up right in the heart of Dotonbori, near the canal and the iconic Glico Running Man.

What it’s famous for:
🛍️ Hundreds of stores, from luxury brands to affordable fashion
🍣 Restaurants, cafés, dessert shops & Japanese street food
🎁 Souvenirs, cosmetics, sneakers & anime shopping
🌃 One of Osaka’s busiest and liveliest walking areas, especially after sunset

☀️ For fewer crowds: Morning or early afternoon
🌙 For the best atmosphere: Evenings & weekends

📍Start at Shinsaibashi Station and walk toward Dotonbori for some of Osaka’s best shopping, food and nightlife.

On a typical evening, it really feels like the whole city is walking here 😂

World’s busiest crossing… and here’s where to get the best views 🇯🇵🚶‍♂️

Shibuya Crossing sees thousands of people cross at every light cycle, making it one of Tokyo’s most iconic sights. If you’re visiting, don’t just walk across it, see it from above too.

• Starbucks Coffee – Shibuya Tsutaya 2F – The classic window view overlooking the scramble.
• Shibuya Sky – The highest panoramic view of Shibuya (book ahead, especially for sunset).
• Shibuya Hikarie – A quieter indoor viewpoint with fewer crowds.
• Shibuya Station Central Exit – Perfect for capturing the action from street level.

💡 Travel tip: Visit around sunset or after dark when the city lights up for the most iconic Tokyo experience.

8 Places You Shouldn’t Miss in Kyoto 🇯🇵👇🏼

Kyoto is home to over 1,600 temples and shrines, but if you’re visiting for the first time, these are some of the best places to add to your itinerary.

1. Fushimi Inari Taisha
Famous for its thousands of red torii gates. Walk beyond the lower gates to experience the quieter trails. Visit early morning or around sunset for fewer crowds.

2. Yasaka Pagoda
One of Kyoto’s most photographed landmarks. Explore the surrounding Higashiyama district, including Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, for traditional streets, cafés, and souvenir shops.

3. Arashiyama Bamboo Grove
Arrive before 8 AM for the best experience. While you’re there, visit Tenryu-ji Temple, the Katsura River, and Togetsukyo Bridge.

4. Daigo-ji Temple
A UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its beautiful gardens, historic buildings, and spectacular cherry blossoms and autumn foliage.

5. Ginkaku-ji (Silver Pavilion)
A peaceful Zen temple featuring beautiful moss gardens and sand gardens. It’s also the starting point of the scenic Philosopher’s Path.

6. Adashino Nenbutsu-ji
One of Kyoto’s hidden gems. The temple is known for its 8,000 stone statues dedicated to the souls of the departed and a quiet bamboo grove with far fewer visitors.

7. Nara (Day Trip)
Just 45–60 minutes from Kyoto. Feed the famous bowing deer, visit Todai-ji Temple, and spend time exploring Nara Park.

8. Osaka (Day Trip)
Only 15–30 minutes by train from Kyoto. A great destination for street food, shopping, Dotonbori, Osaka Castle, and nightlife.

💡 Travel Tips
• Spend at least 3–4 days in Kyoto to explore without rushing.
• Visit popular attractions early in the morning to avoid the crowds.
• Wear comfortable shoes. Expect to walk 15,000–25,000 steps each day.
• An IC card (Suica or ICOCA) makes getting around Kyoto and nearby cities much easier.
