One of our excursion during out time in Kyoto was to the district of Arashiyama 嵐山. It was a touristy, extremely picturesque destination with a lovely river running between two small mountains.

Here’s just some more pictures from the rest of the food I ate in Kyoto. This will be quite the wordless post. Sorry~ This is from the food department at Daimaru 大丸 department store. Fujiya 不二家 here in Canada is mostly known for their milky caramel candy. There they have complete restaurants (which I’ll get […]

We were hungry!! Just across the intersection […]
