Ryoanji

Next Day off to Ryoanji, most famous for a particular rock garden with a special design. Made only of pebbles and 15 large rocks, the garden is special because of its layout. In walking around the garden, you can only ever see 14 of the 15 rocks at one time. There is always at least one hidden from view by another rock. However public are restricted to one side so I couldnt test it from 360degrees!
It is inside a large park and a Yu-dofu Restaurant, a special Tofu Restaurnt inside its own Japanese garden with flowing water.
After that we walked around the Gion district, but couldnt find any Geisha damnit! We sat near the river for a while which is lined with restaurants, and spent quite a while trying to take a photo by ourselves!
Later on for dinner we went to a Thai restaurant claiming “Vegetarian Options!” on their sign, but had not one single item on the menu… At least they made it special LOL

no crocs in here inside the yudofu restaurant by the river number 37 how many photos does it take to get one right?
