Kyoto Samurai
Tourist attraction
👍👍 The real samurai sword experience. If you are interested in an authentic and real experience no better place than with Master Kurabawa. It is the real deal, master-driven, small taste of what would be real. If you are into Samurai and want to meet a real master come here.

Tea Ceremony Camellia GARDEN
Tourist attraction
😠 I am going to further develop the reason for evaluating the activity with the lowest possible grade (because I cannot give less than 1/5). I will do it in order:
1. The choice of kimono (especially in the case of women it is very limited). They only showed three models, if you don't like any of them...

GEAR /Non-Verbal theatre
Performing arts theater
👍👍 Gear was great! We made a good choice by going in the morning and there was a same day discount. Go in the morning and get the tickets! Went for lunch nearby then went for the show. It's really good entertainment and good special effects! Refer to my pictures for details!

Shariden Kinkaku
Buddhist temple
👍 For about ¥500 you can take a walk through a path that leads you to a lake with a temple which walls are covered with gold. Crowds of people are taking photos of it because it is the only attraction here. Still it looks really picturesque. A bit overpriced for that only temple. Guides say that 20kg...

Philosopher's Path
Tourist attraction
👍👍 I went here during the rainy season. It was not as beautiful as sakura season but i was not disappointed. It was still very green, the sound of stream and clean. The stream is so clean that there are fish crabs and ducks in it.
There are 7-8 monasteries on the way and I recommend walking from ginka...
