      Osaka - Kyoto ⛩️🎎

      11. maj, Japan ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      I dag tog vi et smut forbi Kyoto, for at se Fushimi Inari-taisha 🎎

      Det er et Shinto-tempel bygget omkring år 1300 e.kr. Der er løbende blevet opført en torii ⛩️ for hver gang private mennesker eller virksomheder har doneret penge til templet. Det har resulteret i en flere kilometer lang korridor af torri, som fører op til et Shinto-alter på toppen af Inari-bjerget - det var varmt, og der var mange myg 🥲👏Læs mere

      Kyōto und Nara im Touri-Trubel

      2. maj, Japan ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Nach den Tagen im beschaulichen Kawaguchiko traf uns die Touristenschwämme in Kyōto recht unerwartet. Aufgrund der japanischen Golden Week (drei Feiertage innerhalb von sieben Tagen) war gefühlt das ganze Land auf dem Beinen, um die ehemalige Hauptstadt zu erkunden. Nachdem wir aus Tokio angekommen waren (gut zwei Stunden Fahrt, auf sie Sekunde pünktlich), waren wir durch den bedrängten Marktbummel und knapp eineinhalbstündigem Warten vor einem Ramen-Restaurant so gestresst, dass wir uns eine Plan für die nächsten Tage zurechtlegten.

      In aller Herrgottsfrühe machten wir uns fortan auf, um die Stadt zur erkunden und einige ungestörten Minuten an den verschiedenen Sehenswürdigkeiten verbringen zu können. Zwar waren wir nicht die einzigen, die sich diesen Plan zurecht gelegt hatten, doch als uns beim Aufbrechen die anstürmende Meute entgegenkam, erfuhren wir Bestätigung. Nach dem Sightseeing gab es auch immer genug zu tun, besonders das kulinarische Entdecken kam nie zu kurz.

      Besonders in der ehemaligen Kaiserstadt Nara nahm der Massentourismus teils abstruse Züge an. Die Sikkahirsche, ein ehemaliger Statthalter hatte die Jagd einst untersagt, weswegen sie sämtliche Scheu vor den Menschen verloren, waren durch die durchgehende Fütterung komplett verfettet. Für ein Verbeugen werden sie für gewöhnlich mit einem Leckerli belohnt, weswegen sich die Rehe vor uns bettelnd nieder warfen - ein seltsames Schauspiel.

      Besonders an den Stadträndern zeigte uns Kyōto seine Schönheit und so rundete der Besuch im Bambuswald die Tage ab .

      Alle laufen im Pyjama und Schulklassen

      24. april, Japan ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Beim Kaffeeholen im Hotelpyjama stelle ich fest, dass es noch mehr Leute mit meinem Outfit gibt. Witziger Anblick. Leider war M zu klein, trägt Eric, passt, sieht aber aus wie zu heiss aus dem Trockner.
      Nun sollen die Top Sehenswürdigkeiten abgeklappert werden. Zu Fuss zur Pagode, beeindruckend. Schulklassen in diversen Schuluniformen sind omnipräsent. Tempeltoilette 1 ist für mich unbenutzbar dafür ist die zweite mit automatischem Vogelgezwitscher. Weiter zum Food Markt, der natürlich auch der absolute Touristen Hotspot ist. Ganz schön teuer die Häppchen. Und wieder Schulklassen ohne Ende. Muss denn hier niemand zur Schule? Wenn schon, denn schon sagen wir uns und nehmen uns noch den Iniri Schrein vor. Falsche Geishas, weitere Schulklassen und sonst noch was traben wie ne Schafherde durch den wunderschönen Schrein. Hier versucht jeder das wirklich allerbeste Foto zu schiessen. Mir gelingt es nicht habe aber auch keine Geduld dafür. Jetzt sollen unsere Traumkörper aber endlich in den verdienten Hotelonsen (getrennt natürlich) plumpsen. Und sie sind geplumst. Das Hotel ist wirklich gut. Der Onsen ist toll, Massagesessel dann noch ein Eis umsonst, alle Pflegeartikel da - da gibt es nix zu meckern ❤️ ach waschen kann man auch für umme.

      (Fast) alles von Kyoto

      24. april, Japan ⋅ 🌧 18 °C

      Liebes Tagebuch, bin ganz schön erschöpft, vom vielen Gelatsche und Menschen ausweichen.
      Zunächst haben wir uns die riesige Pagode angesehen. Habe die Statik nochmals durchgerechnet, aber keine Verbesserungsvorschläge zu unterbreiten. Die Tempeltoiletten sind z.T. wirklich merkwürdig, weil man nicht weiß, ob man hier ein Klo, oder die kleinste Badewanne der Welt vor sich hat. Habe beides nicht ausprobiert.
      Dann zur Fressmeile, hier wird wirklich enorm viel gegessen, mit frittierten kleinen Tontenfischen und frischen Gurken, beides natürlich am Stil.
      Dann zur nächsten Tempelanlage, wo man durch mehrere Millionen Holztore geht. Mehr als prächtig.
      Dann Onsen im Hotel, ein Traum.
      Jetzt wieder Hunger und sehr großen Durst.

      Beaucoup de monde dans cette forêt. Le lieu est très touristique aussi pour les japonais qui viennent le weekend. Il est très facile de sortir de la ville et en 40 mn de bus nous sommes dans les montagnes.Læs mere

      Day 7

      5. maj, Japan ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

      Another great day. Got up at 8.30 and headed straight into the centre of Kyoto in search for some brekafast! Managed to find a nice place and had some avacado eggs and bacon. After breakfast we headed to the metro to Kyoto central and then used our JR pass to get to Nara park (2.5 hours south of Kyoto).

      Was a scorcher of a day here and 30 degrees so perfect day for it. Nara was mobbed and we went to get food for the wild deers to feed them! If you bow they copy you and Sinéad had luck with getting them to do so but I sadly couldn’t! We then decided to hike up up mount Wakakusa which had a lot of very steep step sections and took about an hour and a half in the hot sun! We arrived to the top sweaty but with great views of Nara!

      We then trekked down (killer on the knees) and headed to the amazing Toda-ji temple! We paid £3 to enter and was amazing to see. Japan biggest golden Buddha was inside. After we toured the temple we grabbed a smoothie and a donut as a snack. After another 45 min walk on the sun to the station we decided to head to Nijo castle (near Kyoto). Was a max rush to make it before 5 (when it shut) and turns out they don’t let peole in after 4 so we had to just take photos outside!

      By this time (5pm) we were starving so got some great sweet and sour chicken with rice and a coffee each for just £11 all in! We then we walked back to the flat, showered and headed needed to local Catholic Church as Sinéad wanted to go to mass. It was a surreal experience in a modern church but the mass format was exact same as Scotland! Peace be with you was everyone bowing to each other. On the way back we did some shopping for souvenirs in the amazing market here in Kyoto!

      After mass we went for dinner at this charcoal grill place I’d wanted to go to. We went in to find it fully booked with a table not available until 10pm so we went and tried out a small bite to eat in KFC (Sinéad wanted to try japans version) and had some more highballs and a beer at a random whiskey bar. We came back at 10 and had what I think was our best meal. We sat at a square bar with the chefs all in the middle cooking fresh from a big charcoal grill. We got grilled squid, wagyu beef, chicken thighs and fries all done on the grill and flambéed.

      We finished dinner at just after 11 and went to do some karaoke (a Japanese tradition) we found a small place with thankfully private rooms and booked one out for 30 mins (£6) and attempted to sing some cranberries, Elvis, Eminem, Dolly Parton and Tinnie Tempah before we were kicked out by getting a call to the room saying our time was up! Another 26k steps and tired legs but busy day tomorrow again!

      Day 8

      5. maj, Japan ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Day 8 was spent in Kyoto city. We got up at 9am and wandered towards the imperial palace with the aim of finding somewhere for breakfast on route. Another hot day so we wanted to get a lot done before the heat came on strong. Eventually after trying a few options we found this little cafe down a random side street and had a nice bacon and egg crepe each with a coffee! Place was so full we had to queue outside for 15 mins in the sun! (Lots of people queue outside the best places to eat in Japan do not abnormal).

      After breakfast we toured the imperial palace which was free. Very impressive and nice Japanese gardens which were as you can expect immaculately maintained. There was a golden retriever meet up going on and Sinead went nuts for when they all posed for a photo. We noticed since we arrived we hadn’t seen one bit of litter or graffiti and everything seems groomed! One of the issues is there are no bins anywhere so you end up holding onto rubbish for half a day. We found most bins are located inside supermarkets on the back section.

      After we routed the palace we walked an hour back into the centre to Nintendo centre (Nintendo also Japanese). The place was mobbed with overpriced toys and Nintendo stuff but we did get a photo on the rooftop with Mario. Was also weird to see a whole floor for British stuff the Japanese were going nuts for. There was fresh sausages rolls fish and chips and royal family memorabilia with British music blaring!

      After Nintendo we wondered into the market again because was so good yesterday and goes on for miles. Today we had some octopus on a stick and had some nice sushi with salmon and I tried sea urchin for the first time (not a huge fan). I decided to splash out (1200 yen so about £8) and get some Wagyu on a stick and we shared some gyoza. We also stopped off and got some amazing matcha ice team which was so ascetically pleasing n on how they served it. Mine looked like a tennis ball it was so perfectly spherical which sums up Japan. they’re nuts for matcha here and there was 9 matcha flavours to choose from.

      We walked around Kyoto some more after food and went to another 2 shrines to see some amazing temples. Main part of Kyoto was packed but the side streets were quieter. We worked out we’d done over 160k steps in the last 5 days. My legs are gone and feet throbbing most nights so started to soak in hot water which has helped. Need better footwear as no idea how the Camino is possible being on your feet all day!

      Dinner we stopped at one of these self service BBQ places and got an assortment of meat and fish with some veg. Wasn’t as good as last night though but decent nonetheless! After we stopped by and had a beer at a craft beer place (plum beer which was decent) and stopped off to buy a can of Sapporo (beer) to share on our balcony before bed!

      Day 6

      3. maj, Japan ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

      Late rise as check in time wasnt until 11am. We got up at 9 went for breakfast packed and then ordered a taxi (as had 2 huge suitcases and didn’t fancy busy metro) to the main station of Tokyo! We got our bullet train at 12.33 and ate some amazing supermarket sushi and a bento box! Eating in public is frowned upon in Japan but a tradition to eat in the bullet train.

      We managed to catch a glimpse of Mount Fuji on the way down although it was covered mostly by a cloud! Speed of the train was crazy and we got to see more of rural Japan on the journey down south! We arrived in Kyoto at 3.15 and instantly it feels more chilled than manic Tokyo! I heard before E that Kyoto had better food and was more laidback than Tokyo and it hasn’t dossaponted so far! We are staying with Hori who is a Japanese guy and has a traditional Japanese home which I’ve shown. The walls are all paper and the doors slide open. We are sleeping on the floor so far from luxury but a good experience and the shower is excellent.

      When we arrived we had to put on slippers and exchanged rules through sign language. After we dumped the bags off we ventured to the famous Nishiki market which is 1 minutes from the flat! (Great location). The food there is crazy and it goes on for miles! Everything is fresh and vibrant, there’s loads of octupus , prawns, Waugu, beef, matcha etc! We had some nice pork gyoza and some octopus balls for just £5. Also had a shot of saki too wash it down.

      After the market we deceive to get the metro to the amazing shrine that Kyoto is known for called Inari. It was great to see and we rushed to get the golden hour sunshine but just missed it! Behind it we could see some steps so decided to venture up only to see it was a 1 hour hike up 1000 steps! We arrived at the top sweaty and tired but worth it for the amazing view over Kyoto.

      We waddled down from the top and then walked back into Kyoto for some food. Kyoto is very trendy and lots of young people and trendy bars and restaurants. Unlike Tokyo peole seem to speak in English here so not so alien. We ventured into a whiskey bar and ordered a high ball (whiskey mixed with a soft drink) unfortunately the whiskey we got was white horse which turns out to be a scotch rather than a Japanese whiskey!

      After our drink we ventured into a random restaurant near the flat and had some garlic chilli pork with some rice and a Tsing Tao to wash it down. I’m getting the hang of chop sticks now finally and quite like them now. We went to the supermarket to get some supplies and now make in Horis home with an early start tommrow!

      Fri 03 May. Kyoto

      2. maj, Japan ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      Rainy on Wednesday but we managed to walk around the bamboo forest and just about avoided having our eyes poked out by one of the thousands of umbrellas, rain or shine they love a brolly.

      Took a trip to Nara on Thursday for yet more temples then a visit to the park where hundreds of deer wander around waiting to be fed, nice smell of deer💩 . They have even learnt to bow when someone gives them one of the crackers they sell to feed to them..... someone's bright ideer 😕

      Our last day in Kyoto and we took a stroll through the gardens at the Imperial Palace. It was another public holiday, the sun was out so plenty of people around, especially twitchers. We stood watching them take hundreds of photos but not sure what it was they spotted. Our best guess was a yellow tit ( do your own jokes 😭).

      Fushimi Inari-Taisha

      13. maj, Japan ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Wir sind heute nicht aus dem Bett gekommen, es regnete einfach die ganze Zeit. Gegen 12 Uhr haben wir es dann geschafft und uns auf den Weg gemacht. Heute sind wir zu einem der Highlights von Kyoto gefahren: den Schreinen, Tempeln, Toren und Wegen in Inari.
      Erstmal mussten wir aber einen Kaffee trinken und etwas frühstücken ☕️.
      Scheinbar ist Inari ein sehr häufig besuchtes Reiseziel, denn trotz Regen war hier unfassbar viel los. Die Tore sind trotzdem super schön. Einmal rechts abgebogen, befanden wir uns auf einem unkonventionelleren Weg und schon war auf dem langen Wanderweg außen herum wenig los. Der Regen ließ nach und nach wieder einmal unendlichen Stufen haben wir es nach oben auf den Gipfel geschafft mit super schönem Ausblick und den Bogengang ab und an für uns allein.
