This Kyoto tour started at the beginning of the year, a close friend was deeply poisoned by Hong Xinoya of Arashiyama , and couldn't wait to book the room, which led to this four-person tour at the eleventh time. Even though I had booked a hotel for half a year in advance, it was difficult for both husbands to ask for leave, so I had no choice but to squeeze in the Golden Week to join in the fun. The four of them made a trip in a hurry and set off like this.
This trip, I ate Kaiseki cuisine with a pilgrimage heart, and also experienced the customs in the izakaya on the roadside; I followed the crowd to check in with tourists' attractions, and was also immersed in the grass and trees of the uninhabited land in the mountains and wilderness cities; I felt the Japanese vacation philosophy of a luxurious resort, and also experienced the homestay life hidden in ordinary residential areas... One day and one night, one period and one meeting .
Preparation before travel:
Accommodation: I booked the main hotel as early as after I decided to travel, Osaka 
night - 3 nights in Kyoto City - 1 night in Hongxi Noya 1 night - 1 night in Osaka.
Hongxi Noya’s close friend booked on the official website, it’s really hard to settle for peak season~ Beat your chest. The first close friend planned it for her. I have to say that as a Japanese-style resort hotel, all aspects of Hongxi Noya Ranshan are perfect. If it weren't for poverty, we could have lived for a year. We were crying/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~;
airbnb was also booked around March. A good-looking house is hard to find and the price is high. However, these are also expected. I didn't carefully study the Kyoto map when booking a room. Finally, I set it in a block near Nijo Castle . The house is Japanese-style, with two floors, and except for sound insulation, they are all very good. The landlord helped to make a lot of reservations, which was very meticulous. The advantage is that the neighborhood environment is very quiet, there is a commercial street nearby, and there are various coffee shops, fruit shops, and drugstores. The disadvantage is that it is not very close to most attractions. Fortunately, the transportation in Kyoto is very convenient, and there are many bus stations and subway stations around the house;
The two-night hotel in Osaka was booked in September, and stayed in best western near Shinsaibashi . The location is good and the shopping is convenient. You can go out and the subway can store your luggage for free for up to 30 days. As a Japanese hotel, the cost-effectiveness is also high, around 800 per night.
air ticket: Booked half a year in advance, and the 11th air ticket special drama is here. Finally, two people were booked to travel 6,800 on Alibaba. How can you know if you lose your horse? Unexpectedly, I only found out that I had booked a first class cabin before I left, which was a great pleasure.
visa: I found it on Taobao, no need for a tax bill to meet the conditions, and I will be allowed to sign on five working days. I have been looking for this company in recent days.
WIFI: Visa. It is used normally throughout the process.
strategy itinerary: mainly rely on travel, tips and travel notes and itinerary assistant. The stingy boy in traffic finally forgot everything after watching it, and finally got it done with Google with one click. There are several posts on the itinerary that have referenced a lot. The author has made a very detailed guide and posted it for reference.

http://bbs.qyer.com/thread-1328994-1.html?authorid=6195201 Kansai Osaka, Kyoto, Nara (World Heritage Tour + Maternal and Child Shopping + Experience Summary)-The itinerary has been completed, and the elevator has been set.
Pre-order: In addition to Hongxi Noya, the most important thing about this trip is two Michelin Kaiseki dishes. After all, we are all people who believe in the four-character proverb of "all come here" so how can we let Kikunoi go through this trip! I asked the landlord of Airbnb to help book the Kikunoi store with three-star tires, but I still couldn't book a seat for the evening. At noon 10/5, four seats were booked based on the budget of 20,000 per person. Another meal with one-star tires of Suda Yama is a grass planted in the delicious kol classic. So I chose this one among the many tire star restaurants in Kyoto. Just make an email by making a reservation. After indicating the intention to book, the other party will carefully inquire about the ordering information. If there are any changes in the middle, they will also directly communicate with each other by email, which is very convenient.
made the reservation roughly and set off like that.
Day 1 Shanghai - Osaka
Shinsaibashi-Donnook Wandering for food
The weather in Shanghai was particularly good on the day of departure, with clouds white and blue sky. I arrived at the airport three hours in advance and found out that I bought a first-class air ticket.Fortunately, I didn’t have time to have breakfast, so I can make up in the lounge now.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived in Osaka. The entry form must write the hotel name and address, including those who book a homestay. There will be staff members at the entrance of the team to check. If you have any questions, you can modify them next to you. There will be staff members who know how to speak Chinese to help. After leaving the level, I wanted to follow the guide to find a place to buy ICOCA, but I didn’t find it. Instead, I saw the huge star father. Following the railway signs all the way, I finally went up the second floor to find the railway hub center, including Nanhai tram and Icoca card sales. There are many student-like volunteers around who can speak various languages to help tourists purchase tickets. Even if you don’t find someone to help, there is no problem. ICOCA’s ticket vending machine has Chinese choices. NANKAI’s ticket vending machine buys tickets directly based on the ticket price. Since the ticket prices from the airport to , Namba and so on are often visited by tourists, they are marked in Chinese, so just buy them directly according to the number of people. The most convenient and labor-saving thing is that ICOCA is universal for all kinds of transportation! Including Nanhai tram, jr, subway, and buses in Kyoto! It is simply a blessing for lazy people. You can have a card in your hand and you will have no worries about traveling. Even though I have read so many guides and various transportation methods to summarize the ticket for a few days, I think of once and for all, and I am simply out of heaven and never worry about the price difference. How suitable~~~
All the way to the South China Sea and check in to the hotel. It was already six o'clock, so I hurriedly lost my luggage and hurried out to find food. The Way of Night suddenly rises, a B-level food paradise! It can really be eaten all the way. However, there are really many people, and there are long queues at the door of popular stores. There is a thousand days ago hidden in the Dauntun River, and there are fewer people in the Yilan family. The battle situation that night was a must-have Yilan ramen and octopus meatballs. Finally, on the way back to the hotel, I accidentally ran into a roast bird house and ate the best fried chicken wings ever! Because we were too obsessed with each other, we came again on the last night before we left.
Day 2 Osaka-Kyoto
Shinsaibashi-Shijotong
The next morning, it was gloomy morning, and due to the impact of the typhoon, it eventually turned into a heavy rain one day. The original plan to sweep the scenic spots could only be stranded, and it turned into a long-day shopping trip to Shinsaibashi. There are shopping malls near Xinzhai Bridge, and there are trendy brands. Food is everywhere when you are hungry, and you can take a break anywhere when you are tired. It is so suitable for rainy days. I happened to meet a buyer shop on the street, with its own coffee shop downstairs, coffee stand, a small store, which is so fashionable. While shopping, I also met the popular Hokkaido cremia ice cream and internet celebrity lobster sandwiches. Cremia has a strong milky flavor, and it is mellow in the mouth, which is really delicious; the lobster sandwich is scattered, and the outer sandwich is grilled with crispy grilled, wrapping the lobster meat inside, but it is cold and has no sense of feeling. I took a bite and threw it to my husband.
In the afternoon, seeing the rain getting heavier, I quickly returned to the hotel and reorganized my luggage. Since I would return to this hotel on the last night, we stored a box here. The storage service is free, up to 30 days. In the rain, we set out for Kyoto. The previous guides, the round trips in Osaka and Kyoto were useless in the end. They just left Google map+icoca. Follow the navigation, don’t worry at all. The gospel of the road deaf is great.
All the way to Kyoto, it was already evening, the rain stopped and the sky was getting darker. The first thing to do when putting down your luggage is to go out and find food. He rushed all the way to Sijotong and finally had a simple meal upstairs in Takashimaya. I still want to go shopping, but why did the mall close so early? . . I found a drugstore in Xinjingji and got half of the shopping service, self-use, and gifts. The shopping service in the next few days will be lighter.
Day 3 Kyoto
Fushimi Inari Daishe -Philosophy- Ginkakuji -Morian-Aodayama Shizuo
Get up early and go to Fushimi Inari Daishe to check in. As soon as you left the station, there was already a crowd of people. As the crowd shook all the way to the shrine, Chibi Tori, who couldn't catch up with the early, could only follow the crowd????. . . On the right side of the Shrine, staff from various languages provide answers and guides, and you can consult. You can go up the mountain to Torii, and there are several small shrines along the way. We turned back halfway and our companions continued to move forward.
There is a snack street on the way out of the shrine, with roasted bird and beef pork belly Osaka roasted fried noodles and crab meat sticks... everything is available, with an average price of 500 yan. It was quite pleasant to eat all the way~ When I finally arrived at Nishi's house, I already! Can't eat it anymore! Forget it, eel rice, I will eat it next time I see it. Anyway, there are so many delicious eel rice in Kyoto! Unexpectedly, we didn't even get eel rice all the way. . .
has been on the Keihan main line, and we have come all the way to philosophy - Ginkakuji Temple. The philosophy at this time is that there is no cherry blossoms or people, and it is as comfortable as usual. The autumn afternoon sun is accompanied by the occasional cycling tourists, and the mood becomes philosophical. When you reach the end of the road, you will be uphill and you will be Yinkaku Temple. Ginkaku Temple was built by General Ashikaga Yoshimasa to watch the moon in Higashiyama. There is a pool of brocade mirrors in the temple, and the courtyard is a migratory garden in the pond. One day I happened to watch a documentary about a Japanese courtyard, which talked about a migratory courtyard, which focused on the change of scenery. There is a corridor along the Jinjing Pool. People walk on the corridor and enjoy different scenery, which is the change of scenery. There are two iconic scenery in the courtyard, namely the silver beach and the viewing platform built with sand and gravel. I think I came to Yinkaku Temple to watch the moon. The silver beach and moon viewing platform under the night dew must look more interesting. Go up the stairs and you can see the panoramic view of the temple. The buildings in the distance are hidden in the shadows of the mountain. This scene is willing to make people stop for a long time.
left Yinge Temple and followed the navigation to climb Duanye Mountain. It was winding and twists and turns. I thought I was going to go wrong several times, but finally climbed all the way to Mao'an, where I was thinking about it. When I first met Mao'an, this cafe hidden in the mountains and fields of Yoshida, I was deeply attracted by my heart. There was no one around the store, and I almost thought the store was closed today. I opened the door rashly and changed my shoes to the second floor, and I really felt that this was a store that was open to the outside world. Mao'an does not have single hand-made coffee, only Italian coffee, and the beans are made of Guatemala. The environment is great, but I feel that it’s good to go along the way, and it may not be worth it if I take a detour.
I booked the Kaiseki cuisine from Sudayama that night. Seeing that the time was almost over, we went to the city. I went down the mountain and passed by a common park in Japanese dramas, two shrines, a kindergarten, a group of Japanese wives who picked up their babies from get off work, a group of college students, Kyoto University , station, and suddenly realized that this is the correct way to open the mountain.
After leaving the subway, walking towards Qinglianyuan, the winding path leads to Sutian Mountain. The reservation time is 6 o'clock, and we arrived just after 5 o'clock. The welcome was an old man. After checking the reservation, he took us in. There was an exquisite courtyard in the courtyard. Since we booked it early, the room might not be ready, so we sat in the waiting area for a while. Kaiseki cuisine was originally used to provide small dishes to keep people hungry and drink tea on empty stomachs at tea ceremony. Later, it evolved into the current form of cooking. Kaiseki cuisine is exquisite, with the decoration inside the seat and the scenery in the courtyard outside the window; the ingredients change according to the season; the serving time of each dish seems to be carefully calculated. Another big kol of Kaiseki cuisine, Li Miao once wrote a good article. If you are interested, you can search it yourself. After a while, the female general took us to the room tonight. It is said that enjoying Kaiseki cuisine starts with the environment. The courtyard outside our room is small and exquisite, with stone carvings and running water. Fortunately, it was too early and it was not yet dark outside, so I can take a photo. After seating, the female general first served a towel and welcome tea, and then asked us to wait. Since we arrived too early, the meal was not ready. We welcome tea is not so much a soup, it is salty and fresh, with a strong perilla flavor. The pink and tender color looks pretty pretty. The set we booked was tokiwa, with a total of 9 dishes. After finishing the meal, I ate squirt crab, matsutake mushroom, three kinds of fish sashimi, Wagyu beef, and sea urchin. Each dish was very delicate. Finally, I put on seasonal fruits and chestnut tea towels, and finished with a cup of matcha, which was very satisfying.It was already dark when we left the door. We walked out on the night lights. The female general and the old gentleman at the reception bowed and saw us off all the way to the end of the road. Fortunately, I didn’t have time to have breakfast, so I can make up in the lounge now.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived in Osaka. The entry form must write the hotel name and address, including those who book a homestay. There will be staff members at the entrance of the team to check. If you have any questions, you can modify them next to you. There will be staff members who know how to speak Chinese to help.

All the way to the South China Sea and check in to the hotel. It was already six o'clock, so I hurriedly lost my luggage and hurried out to find food.
