It was a 6-day getaway to Kyoto and Osaka. I loved Kyoto way more than expected, it was simply gorgeous and peaceful. My favourite place was Owls Forest Kyoto, it provided an amazing interactive experience with different kinds of owls. I was thrilled when their heads turned 180° to peer into my soul.
My second favourite place was Arashiyama. Hozu River Boat Cruise was incredible, the scenic journey combined a Sagano tram-ride and boat-trip from Kameoka back to Arashiyama, made me feel like I was in Anime. I went up to Monkey Park Iwatayama before sunset. It was lovely to meet tame monkeys.

There was always good food in Japan. Chazuke from Taisho HANANA in Arashiyama, horse sashimi from Umayarou in Kyoto, green tea dessert from Nakamura Tokichi Honten in Uji, okonomiyaki from Chibo & chicken sashimi from Toriyarokkakei in Osaka - all of the above are highly recommended.
