A penguin waddling through Kyoto's most beautiful temples and gardens sees what you miss when you're just passing through. Each episode is three minutes of permission to stop moving. The show knows that sometimes the smallest creature in the frame teaches you how to actually look at a place.

Chitose is a round Emperor penguin chick living an unexpectedly peaceful life in Kyoto. She spends her days wandering the city's streets and visiting well-known spots such as the Togetsu-kyo bridge, the Arashiyama bamboo grove, Fushimi Inari shrine, Kiyomizu temple, Ginkaku temple and Gion. Each episode follows Chitose as she bumbles through the city's most recognizable landmarks. Along the way she meets all kinds of people and gets treated to tasty Kyoto food, her favorite pastimes. There's no grand plot here, just a small penguin seeing the city from her own point of view, one quiet moment at a time. The show radiates warmth without being saccharine, pairing gentle comedy with a relaxed slice of life pace. If you want something that soothes more than excites, Chitose's Kyoto adventures offer exactly that kind of comfort.
