Kyoto update

[winter]

Flea markets are dangerous, just so you know. I'm now the owner of a rather overpriced yukata that I fell in love with ~_~ At least it's really good quality.

I also did an unashamedly fannish thing and got up at crazy o' clock to go Shinsengumi hunting. The actual headquarters/museum are only available for viewing by appointment (in Japanese), but I found the Mibu temple and the building itself. There was a pair of Japanese tourists there and we exchanged furtive looks as we bought the maps of old Kyoto.

Now, to see Rainbow Bridge :>

No, Kyoto has a famous parfait cafe that mostly just sells parfaits. There are the more traditional 700 and 900 yen ones as well as a 8500 and 10,000 yen one.



You need to order it in advance, but people love taking picture of the model.

Too bad you did Arashiyama at a run, Tenryuji has a lovely garden. ♥ My favorite sights in Kyoto are: Kuramadera + Katsura Imperial Villa.
