why I love Maizuru, Japan: explore uncrowded Kyoto by the sea - what to see and why come here
Kyoto, as super beautiful as it is, can be really crowded. But go way up north, and you'll find the cities dubbed as "Kyoto by the sea" where one of them, Maizuru, we explored and really enjoyed. Maizuru is a place blessed with abundant nature, tranquility, historical sites, and traditional Japanese culture.
