Kyoto - Day 3 - Monkey Magic!

I can’t remember its real name so Monkey Mountain it is! Japanese Mcaque are free to live and roam on this mountain, and about 5min up the hill you start to see them! There are signs everywhere not to show them food etc or they will go after it, but they seemed happy just playing about. At the top there is a hut where you can feed them from, and they happily cling to the wire and put their hand in asking for food (yes the humans are the ones inside the cage!). Your not supposed to give it hand to hand but ohwell They also have this little pond to swim in and cool off, a view over kyoto, and a slipery slide to play on! They are very cute and playful, but near the end one was eyeing Bao Qin’s bag and stood up on 2 legs, waving his arms in the air walking towards her - scaring her backwards while I could only laugh hahaha.

After walking back down the mountain, we cooled off by walking across the river, which seems to a local pass time.

Kyoto - Day 2 - 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
