On Monday we made our way to Kyoto just like to Osaka by Shinkansen HIKARI super-accurate with the express. Once in Kyoto, it was then first look for a hotel for the night. Andi had anywhere from two Fleyer hostels here, so we go there for one - the other we had been rejected because, according Fleyer only Dormitory had. Once there, it turned out that the reception was just lunch, so we first moved on to Agenda item 2 - a bank looking to redeem TC and buy a supermarket to the bus-day ticket. After the actions are completed successfully, It went on for the first shrine - the "Fushimi Inari Taisha", the richest shrine in Japan. The special is on Inari Taisha a walk - even what I say quite a long trail - from thousands of red torii (the wooden or stone gates which every Shinto shrine there). For a certain donation - whose high but I do not know - you get there a Torii, that is provided with the name and amount donated. So who is sometimes grown rich should set a Toriin in Inari Taisha - find what makes her fully. Because the temple the "Inari Kami" is dedicated, there were statues everywhere Fuchs - Unfortunately, you could buy the very expensive - but in the front yard or outside the front door had to be made safe and well.
So if you time in Kyoto since as you should absolutely go back and the whole trail - your feet will be quite short and then would still be nothing more than the Stairs can run - not even the first attempts entitled quiet - but you should just have made.
After the shrine we went back to the Hostel, where we had but unfortunately all occupied, but we were recommended another where we got a room for six people. That was funny that you could choose between Japanese and Western rooms - the Japanese cost almost twice has cost - the Western - which we had taken - but also had tatami mats and futons - but not on the ground, but in a loft bed frame.
After the reference room are Andi, Andrew, Michael and I go to the "Heian Jingu" another Shinto shrine - well, actually were We also Inari most of the time together and have run the tour. Anna and Erik were at this time again been traveling separately. After the gigantic Inari - somehow this tiny shrine we came from - well, that we had not seen the most, we only found out later, but then it was dark anyway - what happens in Japan very soon and we too slowly were hungry so we went to eat then. We have Natto - tried - these fermented beans. And I must say the stuff does look rather disgusting - something like snail slime - yes, I think that comes closest Natto - and it takes an infinite number of threads, different from the one as cheese also can not really separate. had imagined - The taste I must say not nearly as bad as I would - from what we hear Sun While there is nothing I want to eat more often, but it was really bad, I thought it was not - you should only use the seasoning sauce to get one, because without it tastes really weird.
then we are a little run through the park and the shrine have been made that we have none of these "clack-clack-bamboo fountain" Dinger have (kA as the mean) seen. When shopping, I am still neatly covered with bean paste - and I at home for a while can go about my newfound addiction - and they have purchased specialty Kyote we all - I will take her home with them I do not know what it is exactly or we taste, only that it is batter-3-corner with filling - I have strawberry and bean paste, of course, stunned.
wanted the next morning Anna and I really - because our hostel just across a school was - watching schoolchildren. But except for two - and without Schulunifom - well, it was also a primary school and have mostly not - no one came. We then rumgerätselt if maybe being on vacation that the whole school is on a school trip or whether they just do not start school at 9 - then the two children were too early or too late?
After check-out then we are all moved together to Kyomizu-dera - that is this famous temple, where the famous wooden terrace is - you know determines from anime or pictures. Of course we also have all of Holy water from the " Otowa-no-taki , drunk - and now have a long life and health (which one has the Inari when you get the trail is gone) . You could either buy his own cup to drink from there and because it could take - drinking cups or from existing there - - what have we done for all who they even have a UV - dagehabt sterilizer.
After the temple visit we went back separated los - Anna, Erik and I have made on our way to the Onsen and the rest wanted to Manga Museum.
Search for something we had found a bus to take us to the station sailed out of our train found - and in faith, we even have a bus day pass we entered, getting out has it out found that this there are not valid - so hot it pay extra.
were After about ½ hour train ride we arrived in Kurama and a short walk and the Onsen. Since we have the "day" package have taken, we could both the indoor and the outdoor facility use and have towels and get a yukata made to run around there.
Since the bathrooms are gender separation, Erik had to suffer alone in the bathroom - but Anna and I were together.
I am actually someone who takes a shower more cold than hot, I'm beginning to think I'm reaching there just once a toe in and think it's too hot - but was not the case, on the contrary, & ndash , and of course you always had to get used to the water temperature, both the hot and the cold pool - the fact there were - but then it was totally great. And who is planning a trip to Japan, should have a onsen visit must have on his list. Oh for those who think all anime from a onsen visit to know, they said, not the towels were in the water.
What I find very useful as the onsen, you get really turned everything - shampoo, shower stuff, hair brush, hair dryer, ect. - There is certainly a must and bring nothing.
After the onsen we wanted to eat something and actually have thought in a small mountain village to find something cheap. After some searching we had found a restaurant that was indeed anything but cheap - but there it was the hub of what we wanted to try it - so we are pure. Since there was neither an English-speaking operator card yet, Erik has tried in Japanese to make clear what we wanted. In the end we had one, on a Gasöfchen standing about 30x30x2cm large square pan in front of us - in a mixture of onions, leeks indefinable meat - Anna and I think that It probably was fat - is swimming in a sauce. If all was right, but where was the meat? - because we had ordered for 3 people, we assumed that two pans would certainly come in and then determines that even "normal" meat. So we've started to eat, but eventually we came to doubt, especially because we noticed none of the operations and after the pan was empty was not a new and occasionally nothing. In the end, we have then interpreted the map so that the meat must be ordered extra in this and that again will cost extra, what with the price of the onion mixture was usury already - and we have not done.
