Japan Day 9 - Kyoto/Arashiyama

We went to Arashiyama on a Saturday afternoon and it was jam packed!




Bamboo Grove




This is a famous soba restaurant in Kyoto
http://www.arashiyama-yoshimura.com/
frankly...... it was good but I actually like the texture of the soba from Nara a bit more which is a bit thicker :p  it could just be my preference.



and Yoba icecream as dessert!! (tofu skin)




We then walked along the philosopher's path towards the silver temple..





However.. by the time we got there.. it was closed already :(
lots of food on the way.... as usual



Green tea ice cream puff at the entrance of the silver temple
yum yum yum

went back to the city centre in the evening for sashimi rice



 Sakura at night :)


There's a ninja restaurant in Kyoto which we really wanted to go :p 
with waitor/waitress dressed up as ninja and dishes with ninja related presentation 
e.g. food serves on a sword
maybe a little gimmicky for some people :p 
but we thot we would give it a go anyway 
However, it was impossible to get a table without reservation :(
