Day 254: Kyoto

At the ryokan, the girls minus Laura woke up early to hit the spa bath one more time. The water was still tooo hot, but we were surrounded by peaceful ambiance looking over the river.

Our final treat included a set breakfast which contained grilled fish, clam soup, and curry chicken. Incredible and unforgettable experience at Oyado Seri and Kinosake!

We took a train to Kyoto and couldn’t check in yet so we stopped by In the Moon Irish pub for a drink; squad got turnt on Japanese whisky and Sapporo. We took a mid afternoon nap and then visited Pontocho alley for a night out. It was wayyyy too crowded and we couldn’t find a bar that didn’t also include smoking or wasn’t completely full. Madison found a metal bar in the Gion district so we visited there.

The bar and bartender were amazing and showed us Japanese metal. He also heard the bands we were talking about and played Electric Callboy, Sleep Token, and System of a Down. He also took requests and had us sign us guest book!
