No photo could ever capture the feeling of being surrounded by these stunning autumn colours.I-I'm so in love~♡ Tofuku-ji definitely had the best autumm foliage ever. The second day in Kyoto began with Fushimi-Inari Shrine (I just love this place). We tried chocolate, matcha and the traditional red bean flavour and oh, it had such a generous amount of filling! うまい! On the way to the station, we smelled something nice and took a little detour to have some freshly made taiyaki. Nijo Castle was fascinating! Be sure to visit if you have the chance :D Walking through the grove was very calming like it was as if the sprawling bamboo trees were protecting us… Definitely worth the wait!Īfter that, we made our way to Bamboo Forest. My mum was all praise throughout the meal and even my meat-loving dad enjoyed it. I thought they were soymilk soup or something but there were thin strips of tofu skin inside. The tofu meal was very unique and even though I love tofu, I never knew there were so many different types and ways of cooking them. The wait was really long (we waited for 45 minutes) so we tried their yuba doughnut while waiting. We went to Kyoto the next day and the first stop was Arashiyama with its famed Togetsu-kyo.Īfter hours of admiring the autumn foliage, we stumbled upon a restaurant and it turns out to be a tofu specialty restaurant. My parents were in awe(?) at all those life-size 3D oppai mousepad lmao Grandchaos was freaking huge (my only encounter so far with a real-life Mandarake was Ikebukuro) and my dad obviously had a blast with the shelves housing all them oppai mousepad and hardcore doujins for guys. I couldn’t find Mandarake Grandchaos from my previous trip but this time I’ve found it! We were a little too early though as it was still closed so we walked around Ame-mura (America Mura) and stumbled upon this flashy Benz. Ah, I love how this place is ever so lively just as I had remembered. Once again we landed in Osaka and went straight to Dotonbori. Best be prepared and grab a coffee or something. Note: This may very well be one of my longest blog entry to date. I have been looking forward to returning to Japan ever since our last trip back in 2015 BLOG #28458 and I’m really happy that we managed to go there this year just in time for their autumn foliage! We were in Japan from to and initially I thought of including my trip into my quarterly loot post but it became way too long so here we are!
