    Kyoto Day 2

    March 20, 2019 in Japan ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Early morning walk first around the Imperial Palace, with a stop for an absolutely delicious matcha at the Ippodo shop. Then visit of the shogun residence Nijo-jo which has beautiful rooms and gilded screen paintings inside and a gorgeous garden. Finally, walk around Nishiki market and then back to the museum area on the East side for a great bento lunch at Rokusei.
    After that, went back to visit the Ginkaku-ji temple and its quiet and so well arranged Japanese garden. Peaceful sanctuary on the way there.
    I walked all the way back to the hotel to then run to CrossFit Kyoto: great session and super nice owner Russel who was very welcoming!
    Dinner at Mame-Cha was really really good and authentic. Super of curry udon at Okura was less exciting.
