Was woken at 430am when gal woke to go to toilet 😪
Couldn't fall back to sleep as I was too excited to get to the bamboo groves.
Also, we couldn't sleep because of the beautiful colors outside
Prepared 1-day pass (bought it at Kyoto station the day before) for travelling later.
Out of hotel around 530am, and it was already very bright
Leaves from Ginko tree
Lots of crows hanging around
Comparing to the afternoon the day before, see how quiet the street
This is not yet the bamboo forest ya
Finally arrived.. quiet bamboo groves at 6am in the morning 😉

Impatient look 😝
Went back and forth a little as we had a small quarrel.
Turn right and we see this
Turn left and walk up the slope behind this sign for the Observation deck
Met an ojisan who told me the view here is subarashi 😆
Heading down to the river next
Togetsukyo Bridge
Visiting another forest before heading back to hotel

Back to hotel for breakfast at 730am.
The soya milk was oishii
Making our way after checking-out
We were heading to Umenomiya-taisha.
Had some first hand view of hydrangeas when we passed by a house
Wait for bus 28 at the bus stop near Togetsukyo Bridge.
Arrived
2mins walk to the Taisha
It took a while to find the garden as the gates look like it was locked.
As we were carrying our luggage, it was difficult to bring it around while sightseeing,
so I left the luggage in a corner outside the gate.
My gal was so worried the bag will get lost and stood by the luggage so that I could look at the flowers in peace. 😍
Kinkakuji 金閣寺 next.
The golden pavilion is a popular place hence its gonna be crowded.
Entrance fee: 500 yen
We would be taking different angles of the pavilion under the hot summer sun 😅
Lunch nearby - Okonomiyaki
Headed to Shijo Teramachi to get into the shade and stay out from the hot sun.
Human made
Yup, this was how our bags looked.
Breaktime
Finally, we met friend & family for dinner at Kyoto station
And headed for her house thereafter.
