Kyoto's Kawaramachi is a place where ancient charm meets modern vitality, exuding a unique allure both day and night. One of the most delightful experiences in this city is an evening stroll along the banks of the Kamo River. As the sunset casts its glow on the river's surface and the breeze gently blows, everything around seems to pause, leaving only the gentle sound of water lapping. This walk allows one to let go of worries and fully immerse in the tranquility. 🎉 A Culinary Paradise in Kawaramachi Leaving the Kamo River, you arrive at the bustling Kawaramachi, filled with shops and restaurants that exude a strong sense of life. Strolling through the alleys, you can discover many hidden gourmet restaurants and cafes. Whether it's a Japanese ramen shop, exquisite kaiseki cuisine, or exotic dessert shops, there's something to satisfy every food lover's palate. Highly recommended is an eel rice specialty store hidden in an alley, where the freshly grilled eel's aroma fills the air, and the crispy skin and melt-in-your-mouth meat create an astonishing taste. As night falls, Kawaramachi lights up, with the lively sounds of restaurants and street music performances making it hard to leave. 👍 Nishiki Market's Food and Culture Not far from Kawaramachi is Nishiki Market, known as Kyoto's "kitchen." Here, you'll find a variety of fresh seafood, vegetables, wagashi, and traditional Kyoto delicacies. Walking into the market, you'll be greeted by a dazzling array of stalls, a colorful display of ingredients, and the enthusiastic shouts of vendors, adding a rich local atmosphere. Be sure to try the fresh sashimi, grilled squid, and Kyoto's unique pickles, each bite reflecting the freshness of the ingredients and the care of the vendors. Whether you're looking to buy souvenirs or experience Kyoto's local culture, Nishiki Market is a must-visit. 📍 Tenmangu Shrine's Pilgrimage Continuing along the streets of Kawaramachi, Tenmangu Shrine is a serene haven. Dedicated to the deity of learning, Sugawara no Michizane, this shrine often attracts many students praying for academic success. Inside the shrine, you'll find many ema (wooden plaques) filled with people's hopes for their studies, work, and life. Walking under the shade of trees and seeing the sincere prayers of visitors, you can feel a sense of spiritual calm and peace. If you visit in spring, the blooming plum blossoms here are a sight to behold. 🚩 Kyoto's Kawaramachi: A Blend of Ancient and Modern Charm Kyoto's Kawaramachi is not only a bustling city center but also a place where ancient culture and modern life blend perfectly. The leisurely evening stroll along the Kamo River, the diverse offerings of Nishiki Market, and the tranquility and sanctity of Tenmangu Shrine all showcase the endless charm of this city. Whether it's a brief stay or an in-depth exploration, Kawaramachi will leave you with unforgettable memories. We look forward to you experiencing the unique flavor of Kyoto's Kawaramachi firsthand. 🔴 Travel Tips: Take the Hankyu Line or bus 🟠 Must-Visit Spots: Kawaramachi Shopping District, Kamo River Stroll, Nishiki Market, and Tenmangu Shrine 🟡 Recommended Hotels: Sotetsu Fresa Inn 🟢 Must-Try Foods: Kawadoko Cuisine, Izakaya 🔵 Shopping Guide: Handicrafts, Electronics, and Cosmetics

The streets of Shijo Kawaramachi were so lively. I found an all-you-can-eat yakiniku restaurant. The reviews were pretty good. They also had domestic beef. I ordered on a tablet. The waiter spoke English and was very nice. The food was served quickly and the food was delicious. , recommended✨👌🏻 #日本 #KYOTO #BBQPork

After visiting Aosuji Temple, you can stop by Shijo Kawaramachi in Kyoto. The most suitable place for shopping is the "Shijo Kawaramachi Business District" outside Hankyu Electric Railway Kawaramachi Station, which gathers different department stores. Ladies can also sh0ping. If you want to buy cosmeceuticals, you can go to "Shinkyojitong", which is a good place for nightlife in Kyoto. #Japan travel #overseas travel #Kyoto

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Shijo Bridge is a bridge across the Kamogawa River in Kyoto, Japan. It was built in 1142 (the second year of the Eiji Era) and is a bridge with a very long history. There is a lot of traffic here, and the western part of the Kamogawa River is the commercial district of Shijo Kawaramachi. The crowded people on the bridge are in stark contrast to the people sitting on the riverside below the bridge after a leisurely stroll. If you come in spring or autumn, you can enjoy the blooming cherry blossoms and falling maple leaves. It is so beautiful. (Unfortunately, I came a little late, and the cherry blossom season has passed. Although it is a little regrettable, it feels a little unrealistic to be able to walk in such a long history and integrate it with real life. 🙈) The tranquility of Kamogawa makes people reluctant to leave. But this is the last stop of the Osaka-Kyoto trip. If I didn't have to catch a flight and rush back to the hotel to get my luggage, I really hope to continue walking along the Kamogawa River (but it seems a bit difficult to walk 33 kilometers 😂), and I can also see one of the unique scenery of the Kamogawa River, various strange flying stones and turtle stones, which are attractions that appear in many TV dramas and animations. Many local people come here for pilgrimage. I hope I will have the chance to visit Kamogawa again next time.💕 🚄Transportation: From Kyoto Station, take the Hankyu Kyoto Line to Kawaramachi Station and walk to Shijo Bridge. 🚄Transportation: Keihan Railway to Sanjo Station 🌟🌟🌟 (Duck Shrine, Kamo River turtle jumping or flying stone jumping) 🚄Transportation: Take the Keihan Main Line to Demachiyanagi Station, Exit 3. 🌟🌟🌟 Please note that the Keihan Main Line has no station in Kyoto! So it is not suitable for friends departing from Kyoto. #Kyoto #Damogawa #Shijo Bridge #Japan

I went to Nintendo KYOTO, the third official Nintendo store in Japan.

(It seems that numbered tickets are sometimes distributed on certain days when it is crowded.) 💞Reasons why we recommend it: You can easily experience the world of Super Mario at the photo spot on the rooftop. All the goods featuring Nintendo characters are cute and recommended even just to look at! 📍Recommended visiting time: If you want to avoid crowds as much as possible, we recommend visiting in the morning or after 7:00 p.m.!

Make sure you have an international calling card or a mobile phone card that can be used in Japan. In addition, bring a mobile phone charger, after all, taking pictures and navigation are inseparable from mobile phones. 🌍Next, the power sockets in Japan are different from those in many countries, so you may need to bring a plug converter. This ensures that your electronic devices can be charged smoothly there. 📂Then we need to consider the issue of documents. Since Japan is a country that requires a visa, please make sure to bring your passport, visa and other important documents with you instead of discovering that you have forgotten them just before departure. 👕🧣 Let’s talk about clothing. The temperature in Japan in November is variable, and the temperature difference may be large throughout the day, so please refer to the layering method so that you can flexibly adjust even if the temperature changes. Hats and scarves are also a must. In terms of maintenance, long-distance flights and jet lag may cause discomfort, so it is a good idea to prepare some supplies that are suitable for you, as well as sunscreen. Even in winter, the sun in Japan is quite strong. 🎒Finally, don’t forget to bring a backpack suitable for visiting Japanese attractions. For example, if you plan to go hiking or visit temples, it is recommended to choose a backpack that is convenient and comfortable. While you enjoy the view, protect your personal belongings. / If you like my Japan travel guide, just click three times in one click (follow + like + collect)~ Let’s find happiness together in the world of falling cherry blossoms! 😊🌸

#myfoodies Kyoto is home to many Japanese traditional local food and has one of the best street food in Japan, you will never get hungry travelling around the city. For our 1st night in Kyoto, we decided to explore the streets of Kawaramachi, the area is one of the most popular food destinations to get the best food out of Kyoto, they are located next to Nishiki Market. It’s also popular for night life too as many locals will have a drink in the bars after work. 1. Marion Crepe: Arguably the best crepe in Japan among locals and tourists, they served many variety of hot and fruity crepes, it has more than 50 options to choose from. We got their recommended strawberry with chocolate sauce and cream. It’s so fresh and sweet, a good dessert to start off our food journey. 2. Ichiran: The most popular ramen chain in Japan, we have to try it out and lucky enough, they have a branch nearby in the area and we only need to queue a while for the seats on 2nd floor, they have a seating chart to see which seats are available and how to get around, their counter seats are in individual setting arrangement but we can fold the wall in the middle to eat together. After ordering at the machine, we can choose how we want our ramen to be cooked on the paper and once done writing, we give it to the staff behind the wooden blinds to prepare and serve to us through it. We can even request for no talking request so that they serve us in silent, it’s a good place for one person to eat alone. 3. Nikishi Warai: We discovered this restaurant specialised in Okonomiyaki and we still have stomach for a second round, this food is also one of our list to cross off in Japan, it’s a favourite among locals to have a meal and drinks, we were the only locals but we were treated very well by the staff. We ordered a pork meat okonomiyaki and a yuzu highball drink. It was superb and full of flavours! We really love it and it goes well with the alcohol drink because it’s refreshing and wash off the heavy food taste. We love it so much that we came back the second day to have it again, a recommended spot by us to give it a try!

Kyoto, Japan: Quiet Christmas Eve A few days in Kyoto, Japan, coincident with Christmas, when the red light was waiting in front of the Kyoto City Hall, the roar of more than ten motorcycles was far and near, only to find the riders one by one. It is the costume of Santa Claus. Opposite the hotel, it is the Kawaramachi church, there is no carnival, only the believers are quiet self-salvation. Kyoto, also ancient and modern. Here you can watch the history of moving to tears, you can also go to the market to get excited, in the temple, the new Jingji, Jin market, Kyoto's business prosperity is so low-key.
