This is a great bar for enjoying a few beers or making new friends, especially on busier nights. The inside looks like a log cabin with long, shared tables so you’ll often get chatting with locals as you sit together while enjoying a few bottles of beer which the staff will open with a quick flick of their chopsticks!

Sightseeing

Feel tiny at the Arashiyama bamboo forest. The Bamboo Forest is hugely popular and gets extremely busy throughout the day. Walking through the soaring bamboo stalks of the densely packed Bamboo Forest in the shadows of the morning light is eerily beautiful and incredibly serene. The Bamboo Forest thoroughly deserves its spot as an iconic Kyoto sight and one of its most photographed spots!

The Fushimi Inari Shrine, with its thousands of orange torii gates snaking up the Inari Mountain is another Kyoto icon. The shrine is dedicated to Inari, the god of rice and the patron of business and merchants. A donation is made by those who have had their wish fulfilled and a tori gate is erected in their name.

The Philosopher's Path (哲学の道, Tetsugaku no michi) is a pleasant stone path through the northern part of Kyoto's Higashiyama district. The path follows a canal which is lined by hundreds of cherry trees. Usually in early April these trees explode with color, making this one of the city's most popular hanami (cherry blossom viewing) spots.

Essentials

The vegitables and fruiets sold here are very cheap and fresh. I mostly go and buy fresh vegitables. Once I saw 10 tomatos being sold less then 300 yen. Most of the vegitables will be around 100 yen so they are cheap or in resonable price.
