Kyoto-Myoko

After a short sleep, it was time to get up. First I went to Arishayama bamboo forest, 230 JPY bus. Early in the morning, there was not too big a crowd. I had ice-T, 140 JPY. Returned back to the hotel, showered, and packed.

Close by was Kyoto Imperial palace with a nice garden and I think I saw a wedding.

Next, I moved to Heian-jingū Shrine with a nice garden, 600 JPY. In front, there was some kind of festival.

I tried some meat on a skewer, 700 JPY, but the wind got me messy.

I visited also Nanzen-ji temple and paid 2x 500 JPY. There I sat for a tea in peaceful zen garden with a waterfall, 500 JPY. There is also Suirokaku Aqueduct.

Now I got to the train station with another metro 230 JPY. Ordered pizza and IPA, 2700 JPY, nothing extra.

It was time to get to the countryside in Myoko. To get there I needed 4 trains to get there (3800+9800+9800+670 JPY). Before the last local train, I went to shop, 670 JPY.

I finally got to Kofukan, Myoko. Paid 10.000 JPY for one night in a twin room. This was traditional ryokan with onsen. I had some problems with the reservation.

When I settled in room with 1980’s interior I went to onsen to relax a bit. On return went to bed, had one beer from mini bar before sleep.
