Kiyomizu Oyado Shichifuku, Kyoto Japan

5/17/2017

 
Picture
  May 2017 I visited Kyoto for the first time in the longest time, me and my family decided to stay at "Oyado Kiyomizu Shichifuku" in the central Kyoto.
  Where we could feel a lot of Japanese traditional atmosphere.  The private space that is limited to one group a day.  Great for family, friends, and couples! 
We also tried Japanese green tea class at this *Oyado Shichifuku which Shichifuku is providing option for visitors.  (*oyado=
accommodation)   We have tried different types of japanese green teas, just like wine tasting! Which tea goes well with certain types of meals and sweets etc. It was absolutely an amusing class! 
The most importantly there were quite many popular sightseeing spots to delicious local restaurants, convenience stores around Oyado Shichifuku in walking distance.  In this Kyoto blog I listed up must places to eat, to see, and recommended sweets gifts!
​  Hope you will find something interesting for your next Kyoto trip!  xoxo

Very popular Kyoto's original black wagyu beef katsu. Enjoy with wasabi soy! (There's more sauce options to enjoy!)  They deep fry  wagyu beef for only 60 seconds and that's the popular way to eat at this place.

2. Kiyomizu dera (5 mins by walk)

It was still under construction, but still a magnificent view.  Probably the best Kyoto has to offer. 
Enjoy the gates and status that are before the proper temple itself.

3.  Ninenzaka (5 mins by walk)

It was named when this slope was maintained in year of 807.  Because this slope is located just down the San-nen zaka, 3 year slope.  â‡“ My mini sister @iamriririri

There is a myth that if you fall down in Ninen-zaka, you will die in 2 years. 
​It is a message for people to take special care not to fall down on stone steps and slope...

 5.  Kinkaku-Ji  (28 mins by car) 

Officially named Rokuon-ji, is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan.  It is one of the most popular buildings in Japan.  Attracting a large number of visitors annually.
Such beautiful temple. However, it was very crowded when we visited in mid May 2017. Expect pushing and shoving to get a good view or photograph of the temple. â€‹

It was an amazing bamboo street. We were there in the afternoon, we could manage to find a nice spot to take beautiful photos. It was breathtaking walk by thousands of bamboos.
