Welcome to Beyond Kyoto!
I’m MOYURU — a backpacker who’s wandered through many countries, and now lives right here in Kyoto and the Kansai region.

This isn’t just my home — it’s a place I truly love.
Kyoto and Kansai were once the heart of Japan, and they still hold a deep, living culture you won’t find anywhere else.

I started this blog to share the side of Kyoto that locals know and love — the hidden spots, everyday moments, and stories that don’t always make it into the guidebooks.
If you’re traveling around here, I hope these tips help you go beyond the usual routes and discover something unforgettable.

Thanks for dropping by — and happy travels!
