My Summer in Kyoto

I spent four weeks in Kyoto during the summer of 2025 and I had a great time! From this trip, I've made lifelong friends with shared interests with which I plan to visit Japan with again! I also made friends with some locals in Japan such as a neighbor from my homestay and, of course, I also got really close with my wonderful homestay family! Not to mention I visited some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen such as Miyajima Island with my study abroad group or Himeji-jo with my host family, both of which I recommend if you visit Japan! Overall, I think this is such a wonderful way to visit Japan, learn some extra Japanese, and have fun!
