Good Morning Kyoto!
Today's itinerary at a glance.
1. Kiyomizu Dera Temple
2. Osaka Starbucks Tatami style store
3. Stroll along Sannenzaka and Ninnenzaka
4. Hike up Fushimi Inari
5. Nara Park to pet deers
Japanese convenience stores here have a different variety of beers compared to Singapore. Last night we tried the Kirin Green apple 5% alcohol beer (limited period) and Shrimp flavoured fluffy rice flour chips which even had a small note that it is using local rice grains. Nice, always good to support local whenever we travel.
Couldn't resist these little good-luck schoolbags for my kids and bought 1 colour of each and just nice, it comes in 3 different colours for my 3 kids.
1130AM: Along Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka, in search of the Starbucks Tatami store. Along the way, I chanced onto this sweet shop Sou Sou! OMG, bought 2 sticks for the kids to share. Each stick 500Yen.
240PM we reached the top of Fushimi Inari, the view from here isn't what I was expecting after climbing 233m up.
Taking a train to Kiyomizu Dera Temple.
Stopped by a Ghibli store and bought myself a tea towel and a rice scoop
Walking Kyoto street, reaching Kiyomizu Dera temple soon!
930AM: Into Kiyomizu Dera Temple! Bought ourselves the entrance ticket.
Above: wash your hands with the water and you have good luck!
Hydrangeas are in season (June)
Bought a Kyoto Fridge Magnet for 500 Yen. So expensive yah.
12noon: Finally, hubs found the quaint old Starbucks store. I had the seasonal lemon frap.
140PM: Reached the foot of Fushimi Inari!
Underestimated the climb up to the top. we took about 1 hour hike up the 233m high mountain. Leisure hike is about 2-3 hours but we were in a rush as after this hike, my plan was to visit Nara Park which closes at 5pm. And the train from here to Nara is about 1 hour.
230pm we reached the top and 350pm we were at back at the foot.
[to be continued, stay tuned for our visit to Nara Park and our adventures with deer petting]
