Every time we got off a bus, we were bound to find ourselves in front of a temple. Day 12 is no exception as we […]

]]> Japan Trip : Kiyomizudera Temple and Pontocho, Kyoto http://eatophilia.com/japan-trip-day-11-kyoto/ Sat, 03 Jan 2015 05:03:00 +0000 http://eatophilia.com/asam-fish-batu-pahat I was super excited that we were going to trace Jean Reno’s footsteps in Kiyomizudera. We watched Wasabi many years back and a short portrayal of Kiyomizudera left me in awe. I told CS, “I want to go this!” I’ll introduce Kiyomizudera later on since we made the first stop at Ginkakuji since we are […]

You can see the red Shinto torii gates all over Japan, but I wonder if there is any other place that has as much torii gates as Fushimi Inari. Seriously, a lot. Of course, we shouldn’t be surprised as Fushimi Inari is the head shrine dedicated […]

Kyoto Station is not as busy as Tokyo Station, but it doesn’t make them less complicated. We soon learned that the easy way is to find out the track number from JR staffs and […]

It’s not that Hiroshima has less to offer, but we can’t stay a single night in the Park Side hotel anymore. We were back on Shinkansen hopping again and the first Shinkansen we took for the day was […]

All we need to do was to take the tram ride to Hiroden Miyajima Guchi station and […]

Two points that got us here : 1. This ‘the biggest wholesale fish market in the world’ will be demolished (pending date) soon to make way for 2020 Olympic Games. […]

This was what happened to us during our trip to Nikko. I was warned in japan-guide.com forum that the day was a long weekend holiday and many will rush for a day trip to Nikko. HORRIBLE TRAFFIC? […]

We activated our JR Pass at Tokyo Station before taking the JR Yokosuka Line to Kita-Kamakura Station. From the station, we followed the […]

I’ve been a lazy. In a life changing year of 2014 with extra dose of workload (a lot!), i fall asleep on my sofa right after dinner, EVERY night. So it’s no wonder that procrastination got the better of me and this Japan trip post took me over one year, on and off, […]
