Kyoto (and Osaka)
Hello everybody
On the 1. November I went to Kyoto! Thanks to the medicine i felt much better.
My boyfriend picked me up from shin okubo and together we went to Tokyo station for shinkansen.
I have to say I really like shinkansen it's fast and comfy. At shin yokohama an american guy was sitting next to us. We talked a little bit with him and he lived in Okinawa for 6 years now but he can't speak japanese at all.
3 hours later we arrived in kyoto. The station is really beautiful and modern!
Right after we arrived we went to fushimi inari shrine. There were 1000 of gates (tori)!
It looked really beautiful. But it'S sooo big and sooo much to walk and we still had our luggage with us. Taiki and me decided to do the small route but still it was really difficult and soon I sound like a old woman haha.
Oh and I saw a lot of german tourists!!
We went to our Hotel in Gion. I already saw some hosts around there w. The room was small and little bit dirty. But it was cheap so it was ok for 2 nights. After a little break we went to kyomizu dera temple. It was so crowded! I was little bit sad because the leaf of the trees are not in colours yet.
There are also a few shrines. Of course I went to the shrine with the god of love ww. I've bought omikuji.
for travel it says : Women shouldn't travel with boyfriend
for love : You have a lot of rivals but you will be happy in love
Well it's not good and it's not bad i guess XD. I also made a wish. I threw some yen and ringed the bell and made a wish. I hope it will come true.
On the second day we went to Eigamura. It's a park about the Edo period. I thought it will be so fun but.... it was kinda boring >_< And there were a lot children. Well we went to the ninja mystery house. It was ok but we had to pay extra -_- the enry was 2200 yen. the price is ok for boring park ww
I really wanted to see the bamboo garden. But when we arrived it was already late and dark v.v
Here are some photos~
Our last day was the best I think. I saw Girls wearing Kimonos all the time. I've found out you could rent kimono for 1 day. I found a cheap shop in Gion. It was only 2500 yen! It was so crowded in the shop >< It must be really popular. I chose a pink/purple kimono. The stuff helps you to wear the kimono. After that I got hairset for 1000 yen. It looked really cute but ...those hairstyles doesn't suit me. I really look like a pancake ww
My boyfriend didn't want to wear a kimono because it's sooo annoying =_= and he said he never wear yukata or kimono before. What a shock w. But I convinced him and he said it's not bad.
And he really looked so handsome with kimono!!!
We walked around gion when a old japanese man with his DSLR camera came and asked if he could take photos of us. He wanted to win a contest and he said we are cool couple haha so cute.
We headed to kyomizu dera temple and took some photos when another old man came and wanted my camera haha I thought he wanna steal it but he wanted to take photos of us. Really cute!
After all it was really a great trip! maybe the best trip I've ever had! I had so much fun and we laughed a lot.
We went to osaka for a few hours to met his old friend and his friends girlfriend at Namba. They were really nice and funny. We went to izakaya and bar together till Taiki and me had to come back to kyoto for our bus back to tokyo!
