Along the way in Kyoto and Osaka, what caught my eyes

📌Kiyomizu-dera

Address: 1 Chome-294 Kiyomizu, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto, 605-0862 Japan

Highlights: The entire site is huge, you can buy many different types of omamori (charms), draw fortunes, and worship. It’s super crowded~

📌Kyoto Shijo Minami-za

Address: Shijo Ohashi Higashizume, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto 605-0075 Japan

Highlights: A spot discovered when taking the subway back to Osaka from Kyoto. It looks beautiful at night. I feel that Japanese buildings give different vibes in the morning and at night, which I really like🧡

📌Ninenzaka (Ninen-zaka)

Address: 2 Chome Kiyomizu, Masuyacho, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto 605-0826 Japan

Highlights: The whole street is full of a retro vibe~
You can also buy many different foods and goods. We strolled from afternoon to night and found a super retro Starbucks, which was converted from an old house. Inside, you drink coffee sitting on tatami mats, giving it a unique charm~

Finally, here’s the crab I ate at Douraku.
The meat was super fresh and sweet, and very plump😍
