kyoto day 1

kenji, the owner of the nara guesthouse 3F, prepared breakfast for us. the breakfast tasted really great and was very instagram worthy. 

everything about the breakfast was nice. the soup was nice. the spinach was nice. the scrambled eggs was nice. the toast with the butter, strawberry jam and blueberry jam was nice. the fruits in a bowl were very sweet and very nice. our one night accomodation is 90 sing dollars. this breakfast is worth at least 10 sing dollars. 

we bid farewell to kenji and travelled to kyoto using the Limited Express. 

this is our kyoto accommodation. the owner's husband actually waited for us at the street! so touched by the personal gesture. the apartment was good. very well equipped. even gave us free mineral water, free coke, free green tea and free cup noodles. location was good too, just 5 min walk from kyoto station. 

our first sightseeing location is tofuku-ji temple. we love the red trees! 

the next location was fushimi inari shrine, which was 20 min walk away from tofuku-ji temple. we were overwhelmed by the large number of tourists over there. we hate densely populated places. totally spoil the zen feeling of the shrine. :(

拍了照留念就赶快走。

we heard about the nice matcha places that kyoto has, so we search online, and darling found this place: Saryo Suisen! 

thankful to have a pocket wifi with us so that we can always use googlemaps to go to the different places in japan. 

the matcha stuff here look so beautiful... can't bear to consume them!

and this wraps up day 1 of kyoto!
