Welcome to Kao Kakao TV❣️ – a channel about life, culture, and events in Kyoto and Japan, seen through the eyes of someone with deep knowledge of Japanese tradition.

Here you’ll find videos of festivals, ceremonies, local happenings, and both famous and hidden gems of Kyoto – filmed spontaneously, with love and respect.

This channel began as a personal project, and is now also an invitation to collaborate.
If you need a private guide and host in Kyoto, with focus on Japanese gardens, authentic places and culture – feel free to reach out ⬇️

Also open to collaboration with artists, businesses, or creative groups interested in reaching any audience.

Most travelers never experience this side of Kyoto.

While famous festivals attract global attention, local events like the Ebisu Festival are where Kyoto truly comes alive.
That’s why nearly 14,000 people watched my live stream (link is in the comments)— to see something they wouldn’t find in guidebooks.

Maiko, geiko, local traditions, good-luck rituals — all in one place, at the right time.

This is what a local private guide makes possible.
If you want to experience Kyoto beyond the surface, feel free to reach out.

Many of my guests from Japan and around the world who enjoy Japanese garden tours are also passionate about bonsai exhibitions — and it’s no coincidence.

On this channel, the most watched videos are from bonsai exhibitions, and this event is one of the highlights of the year.

Some of my friends, professionals, and long-time followers visited the exhibition in person (even from overseas), while others followed through live streams and recorded videos.
I’m collecting all related content into a dedicated playlist, which you’ll find in the comments. New live videos and recordings will be added regularly.

This exhibition is:
🌿 One of the two most important bonsai exhibitions in Japan
🌿 The largest bonsai exhibition in Western Japan
🌿 Open until tomorrow at 3:30 PM

If you are able to visit, this is an amazing chance to:
• see exceptional bonsai up close
• explore top bonsai shops
• buy tools, books, magazines, pots, suiseki stones, and all essential bonsai equipment

If you can’t be there in person, enjoy the atmosphere through the photos and videos on this channel.

Don’t forget to check the playlist and subscribe for upcoming content.

I spent the last four days at the 45th Japan Bonsai Taikan Exhibition in Kyoto — one of the two most important bonsai exhibitions in Japan.
Filming, learning, meeting masters from all over the world, and enjoying the beauty of this art.

Several live streams and many videos are now ready, and I will publish them soon in playlists on my channel — from full live streams to 4K videos and shorts.

Next major event in January: Gafu-ten – Japan’s largest shohin bonsai exhibition.

Thank you all for your support! 🌿
