Today is Fushimi Inari day! The plan was to go to Nara today, however the tiredness caught me back. So I slept until 10h, then went to the east of Kyoto to reach Fushimi Inari with a metro and a tram. It is a touristic spot so when I reached there it was really full of people, it was around 12pm. The site is impressive, and the walk under the arches is great.
Near the site you have street food : Takoyaki, Steam Oyster, Yakisoba, Ice cream, fried potatoes… I tried the Takoyaki, they were good. I love Squid so that was great for me.
Then I headed to Kiyomizu-dera, next to the Gion area. I did not stay long. It was great, however I was tired of walking, so I started to go down near the town. On my way, I stopped to eat a cucumber pickle and a matcha/soy milk ice cream, both of which were surprising. The cucumber was great.
And now I can say with conviction that I am not a fan of Matcha. Sorry to all matcha lovers! haha.
Then I walk into the typical Kyoto street (Sannenzaka). It was amazing, and kinda smoothing until Yasaka jinja. Back to the hotel. I found a restaurant next to the hotel : Ramen Sakurai in Kyoto. It was good. I had ramen with a chicken broth and some pork steamed dumplings with a chilly sauce. That I will dream about for a while.
