Kyoto Day 1 // Fushimi Inari, Kiyomizudera, Nijo Castle //

Finally finding some time to put up these overdue travel posts.

Kyoto and Osaka trip happened in May 2018 oops. Shall still put them here for memories sake!

Here's us at the lounge waiting for our midnight flight to Kyoto! 

Upon arrival at Kansai Airport, we headed to the JR ticket office to get our tickets to Kyoto and also purchase the ICOCA card for our transportations in Japan!

First onigiri in Japan!

Settled our dinner at a small eatery near our bnb.

Tsukemen! Comfort food for the cool weather

The next morning, we had our brunch at Dragon Burger

First stop: Fushimi Inari

Explored the street just beside the temple

Regretted not buying this back!

At Kiyomizudera

Nijo Castle

Sushi for dinner!

And that's all for Day 1!

MacRitchie Nature Trail

Last Tuesday, we headed to MacRitchie for a round of hiking! Its been a really long while since we did something so close to nature. It's a really nice change compared to malls and cinemas and we were really glad we did something fulfilling instead of wasting our PH at home.

It was so crowded that day! We spent 50 minutes just waiting to cross the tree top bridge!

Finally!

 And finally we started our descent back to our starting point.

The entire 10km trail took us close to 3 hours to finish, no thanks to the crowd. But still a good way to spend PH and get some workout done nonetheless! :D
