Day 5 was a day trip in Kyoto.
First stop: Philosopher's Walk
I think this attraction is suitable for the cherry blossom season and fall season where there are things to see. On a normal day, all you see are green leaves. It's pretty but with the whole stretch looking the same, it gets pretty boring towards the end.
First stop, Ginkakuji. There's Kinkakuji and Ginkakuji. Kinkakuji is the more popular attraction. After I visited the place, I can see why Kinkakuji is more popular. Kinkakuji seems more lavish and because the temple is gold. As for Ginkakuji, it's not too shabby. The place is quite pretty as well.
Back on the path.

Headed to Uji next for our favourite soba.
It was raining the last time we visited Byodo-In so we went there again. We got in near closing time do we had to walk quickly. The place looks even better with the sunset.

| Awkward.... |

| The place was really beautiful and zen. |
Day 6: OSAKA!
The sky was lovely that day. We planned a trip to the famous aquarium in Osaka and we were really looking forward to it.
 |
| Great weather. |
 |
| Mola Mola! |
 |
| Whale Shark |
 |
| My favourite. |
 |
| Cheaper coke in Japan! |
We spent the night at Dotonbori.
Dotonbori has lots of shopping and food and because of the lights, I think it is better go be there at night to see the lights and the グリコman. Of course you will have to eat Takoyaki in Osaka! Cheewee had the takoyaki (i'm not a tako fan) while i had some street snacks like scallop.
