Kyoto All Day

My favorite city, Kyoto!
If you go, you have to buy this one day bus ticket. You will save lots of money!

First stop is Kitano Shrine Temple Market
 
All kinds of street food







 




 
She is wearing local farmer outfit from the area in Kyoto








 
 
The shrine just changed the decoration and people are taking pieces of old one for good luck







 

 







 
Typical offerings are sake, rice and soy sauce  

 
 
 
 
Tea house in the shrine that has been in business more than 400 years 
 
This is what they served then and still today
Matcha and Mochi

Delicious

This is proper way how Macha is served


 
More market stuff














 
This market open about 5 am and now it's 2 pm...
I understand...
 
 
To Ginkaku Temple
  










 
 







 
Kamo river

Tujiri is the tea maker

 
Tujiri Parfait

 
@ Gion
Maiko is going to work

 
Geisha is getting ready for work too
  
 

Yasaka shrine

 
Kyoto restaurants often don't have menu and price...
usually that means expensive
 
House where Maiko and Geisha live

 
Over the river break time!

 
Kamikaze - Japanese cocktails are not as good
but this place is better than others

 
Time to leave!
I was out 15+hours!
