Kyoto's Story or How To Sidetrack on Your Vacation

Retrospective bloggin' continue...

Friday 7 August Kyoto by day (Teramachi, ShinKyoGokuDori)

So the next day we went back to Kyoto, determined to visit all the Shrines, Temples, Castles and all those other things we are so interested in...
And the rest is history...
Cause we sidetracked!! Like always. But there's this funny thing, when we side track we always end up somewhere very cool.
Our first day in Osaka, we somehow ended up in Osaka's Youth District ShinSaiBashiSuji.
Now in Kyoto, again, we end up in on of Kyoto's Youth area, ShinKyoGokuDori.
It must be our youngsters instinct that led us there.

But before we got there we walked through, what I would call "trademark" japan streets. With all those typical houses and electricity poles.

Too many wires, but it makes a nice photo. =)

Shopping area with Teramachi and ShinKyoGokuDori. These streets are along the big road Kawamarachi-dori. (At the crossing with Sanjo-Dori)

Teramachi got a lot of traditional cultural Japanese stuff...
Like windchimes.
Others...
More...

And right at the moment we didn't expect it, we saw this. A shrine...err...of some sort. Rather small one, but still. It was right in-between the shopping streets...


Traditional...

The local cinema...with a lot of films like HP6, but also this new anime film. Which I don't know.
Guitar shop...Grabbing machines!!


As you might have read on HMT's blog, he wanted to SlamDunk bag (like all of the SD fans) Well unfortunately for him, it was a &*#()@$& Scam. The CDbox which you should try to get off the platform is STICKED/TAPED! I can't believe everyone is trying it. Well maybe you CAN get it off, but it will take some time.

I myself, also played these grabbing machines. But the ones I choosed are not taped. And guess what, I won!! I've won a Suzimiya Haruhi figure!! Yeah Suzimuya Haruhi S.O.S Brigade Go For The Win!!
A toy/anime/manga shop with a lot of small figures and stuff.
There were that many, You couldn't even find the one you just saw.

Afterwards it was time to go back, we were hungry. There is this very small foodplace, but it's really popular. Everyday I see people lining up for it (I know this cause I've been to this place a lot). I never tried it myself, but it seems to be fried fish (like in Fish and Chips) for 2oo yen. I should have tried it.

Back in Osaka >>> Curry Rice, just around the corner.

Watch manga while you eat.


I never expected me to come back to Kyoto for the 3rd and 4th time...
