[2025 Kyoto ] Travel Guide for Shijo-dori (Updated Aug)

The common sense of warabimochi is overturned Warabimochi that you don't "eat" but "drink"! The gooey texture is so strange and delicious! Limited time from May 5th to 7th What a surprise If you spend over 1000 yen, you can get a kinako warabimochi (¥700) for free! You can't eat it in the store, eat it while you're walking around or buy it as a souvenir. I recommend Since the Kamogawa River is nearby, it's great to sit on the promenade along the river and enjoy the warabimochi☺️ [Recommended menu] ・Matcha fresh warabimochi↓↓↓ Plump and gooey✨The texture is irresistible! It melts in your mouth. It's more like drinking it than eating it lol The sweetness is just right. You can add brown sugar syrup for an additional 50 yen, but it's too sweet so I prefer it without it. The kinako is also very delicious! The matcha is great, but the kinako flavored warabimochi is especially good, with a lot of kinako lol 4 pieces: ¥700 ・Drinkable warabimochi This was also delicious✨ This time I ordered yuzu, but they also have a variety of other flavors, such as milk tea and matcha. The yuzu was refreshing and very delicious. It came with a thick warabimochi! Personally, it was a bit strong and sweet, but I think if I left it for a little longer the ice would have melted and it would have been better. But it was better than a weak flavor, so I was satisfied☺️ Price: ¥730 [Store information] ・Torori Tenshi no Warabimochi (Kyoto Kawaramachi store) There are 152 stores nationwide, so if you have one near you, I recommend you try it! Address↓↓ 85, Shijo-dori Kobashi-nishiiru Shinmachi, Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture Very close (within 5 minutes) from Kyoto Kawaramachi Station and Kyoto Gion-Shijo Station~ Business hours↓↓ 12:00-20:00 #Kyoto #Kyoto gourmet #Sweets #Kyoto sweets #Gion #Warabimochi #Japanese sweets #Matcha #Matcha sweets #Gourmet #Gourmet trip #Gourmet list

#KyotoTourism Recommended for those taking a walk around Kawaramachi, A cute afternoon tea from Ladurée in Kyoto♡ There are two Ladurée stores in Kyoto, the Gion store and the Shijo store, and this is the Shijo store.

This time, I came to enjoy places I haven't been to and dishes I haven't tried before♪ On the first day, I strolled around Gion and Kawaramachi. For lunch, I went to 'Gion Mame Tora' in Gion. Cute bite-sized sushi. I entered around 12:30 PM and was guided to the second floor without any wait. The sushi was delicious. The Mame Sushi Set was 4,730 yen. [Gion Mame Tora] Address: 570-235 Gion-cho Minami-gawa, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture Hours: 11:30 AM - 2:00 PM (Last Order) / 5:00 PM - 8:30 PM Closed: None For dessert after lunch, I went to 'Ladurée Kyoto Shijo Store'! Famous for its macarons, but I ordered the Halloween limited parfait! I enjoyed it with tea. There were many types of tea. [Ladurée Kyoto Shijo Store] Address: 371 Narayamono-cho, Nishiru, Gokomachi, Shijo-dori, Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture Hours: 11:00 AM - 8:00 PM On the second day, I went to Kibune! It took about 45 minutes by train from the hotel where I stayed. I visited Kibune Shrine⛩️ A shrine famous for matchmaking. Although it's far from the city center, there were many tourists. It takes 5 minutes by Kyoto Bus from Kibuneguchi Station. It's a bit of a walk from the bus stop to the shrine, but I enjoyed the nature while walking slowly. I visited the main shrine, then the inner shrine, and finally the Yui Shrine in that order. At the main shrine, there is a water fortune-telling. There are souvenir shops and restaurants between the bus stop and the shrine, so it's good to stop by on the way back! For lunch, I had wild boar hot pot at 'Kibune Nakayoshi'. I could order even if I was alone! [Kibune Nakayoshi] Address: 71-71 Kurama Kibune-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture

#0yentrip I went to the Gion Festival, which is held every year! At night, the lanterns🏮 were lit up and it was very beautiful. The music they played was also beautiful, and when I heard this music, I felt like I was in the ancient city of Kyoto. Every year, the day changes, but at night, Shijo Street becomes a pedestrian paradise and food stalls are set up! There were a lot of people, but it was a lot of fun to feel like I was in a summer festival! This year is already over, so I want to go again next year.

SAKURA Sakura in Kyoto I was moved by the cherry blossoms on Shijo Street❗️ When you think of Kyoto, you think of cherry blossoms, and when you think of cherry blossoms, you think of Kyoto! So, I came to Kyoto! Kyoto has many shrines and temples and is full of things to see, but Even in the center of the city, beautiful cherry blossoms are blooming, It's great that you can enjoy the cherry blossoms while walking around the city. You can also enjoy the collaboration with old houses and buildings, which is exciting! I took a walk from Shijo Street towards Yasaka Shrine to enjoy the cherry blossoms. On the way, there are ✅Pontocho ✅Kamo River ✅Minamiza so you can enjoy the atmosphere of Kyoto, and ✅Shizuya's (SIZUYA) cutlet sandwiches are also good for a snack! #Kyoto #sakura #Kyoto sightseeing #Kyoto trip
