After looking at the traditional side of the Kyoto, I decided to look at what Kyoto people would enjoy everyday.
I went to Nishiki market.
I was worried because of the sudden rain, but Nishiki market was roofed.
It was basically a very long shopping mall.
There were many things to watch from shoes to drinks.
My favorite was the knife store.
I wanted to buy a kitchen knife, but I didn't bring enough cash that day.
Maybe next time.
The market offered plenty of food and drinks.
I bought some Senbei, traditional Japanese cookies, and some Sake.
Actually, Sake price was surprisingly low, so I bought plenty.
Before leaving Kyoto for Osaka, I went to a Udon stand in front of the station.
Even though it was only 300 yen, the Udon tasted great.
I went back to Osaka on Hankyu express.
The round fare for Hankyu express was only 700 yen.
I strongly advise you to use this ticket to tour Kyoto at least for a day.
It was great to see Kyoto, but night time at Osaka still awaits.
