Kyoto Morning Drive to Ohara 🌿 | From Yasaka Shrine to a Quiet Mountain Village

This video is a calm morning drive from Yasaka Shrine in Kyoto to Ohara, a peaceful mountain village in northern Kyoto. The drive begins near Yasaka Shrine, one of Kyoto’s well-known landmarks, and gradually leaves the busy city area behind. As the road continues north, the scenery changes from urban streets to quiet residential roads, green mountains, riverside views, and peaceful countryside landscapes. Ohara is known for its calm rural atmosphere, mountain scenery, and historic temples such as Sanzen-in. In this video, I wanted to capture the gentle transition from central Kyoto to the quiet mountain village area, without rushing or adding too many cuts. This is a simple and relaxing drive video for those who enjoy real roads, peaceful Japanese scenery, and the everyday atmosphere of Kyoto beyond the famous tourist spots. I hope you enjoy this quiet morning drive from Kyoto to Ohara. 【Route Highlights】 Yasaka Shrine area Early morning streets of Kyoto Quiet local roads Mountain scenery Countryside views Ohara village area 00:20 Start near Yasaka Shrine 03:00 Leaving the central Kyoto area 06:30 Quiet local roads toward northern Kyoto 10:00 Mountain road scenery 16:00 Countryside views near Ohara 18:00 Approaching Ohara village 20:21 End of the drive
