Snow, Onsen and Crab!

[rbjhan]

After frantically checking various Kyoto live cams. I've decided to go to Kibune later today. There should be snow!

The Kibune trip has been a success. Only problem is I'm dead on my feet now, and haven't had dinner yet!

Exactly what I'm doing! i don't know how people manage it on the go on a phone. I just keep my trip diary the old fashioned way - by writing in a diary and sticking in interesting tickets, receipts, brochures etc. I like re-reading these randomly at future times. And I use them to put together my AFF TR.

Yes I'm only capable of writing some random thoughts on the go.
No idea how people can finish a whole trip report like that!
Plus I really need the computer to work..... Phone is not enough!

All of this. I just scrawl some notes in my diary and then put it together. Just updating my diary today took over an hour let alone even sorting out photos for the TR

Yes. And I also have photos on my camera. I NEED the computer to process them.

Last night there was some snow...
So hoping for the best I went to Kinkakuji in the morning.
Errr, problem is they open at 9am and by then it's mostly gone ;((

Kiyomizudera opens at 6am, if it snows tonight I'm gonna go there tomorrow!

Hows the crowds?

Same. I haven't been since early 2023!
Well Kinkakuji was not too bad although that might be due to my timing. After that I went to Kamigamo Jinja which is not that popular so who knows.....

In Kyoto, I think as long as you are willing to stay away from Gion /Kawaramachi Shijo, and Kyoto Station, it's not too bad.
