2泊3日の京都一乗寺ひとり旅｜瑠璃光院・詩仙堂・狸谷山と猫猫寺、みたらし祭り　穴場スポットが最高すぎた！

Just thinking about going to Kyoto
already sharpens my mood. Kyoto has this vibe
you can’t feel anywhere else. Skipping the crowded spots today,
heading for hidden gems instead. Guys who don’t care about fashion
mostly shop at UNIQLO. So yeah, bumping into strangers
wearing the same shirt—LOL. Best move in that case:
pretend you didn’t notice. That ad is screaming “Kyoto” vibes. Haha. A clear sign we’re getting close to Kyoto. Arrived at Demachiyanagi Station! Wow, the cicadas are crazy loud! First thing after arriving:
drop this giant bag somewhere. Then, of course, grab some food. A super popular shop
selling handmade rice balls. Love how it’s just called
“The Onigiri Shop.” Simple. They even have more choices than a convenience store! Salmon and nozawana pickles. No seats inside, so I’ll eat
by the riverbank instead. Speaking of Kyoto, this is the Kamo River! Might as well cross over
to that little island. Ah, feels so cool and refreshing here! But these stepping stones…
kinda scary to cross, LOL. This turtle-shell shape—
I could totally trip. Crossing carefully now… Don’t wanna get soaked this early in the trip! Still, the water here is so clear and pretty! Alright, this cool riverside
is my breakfast spot. Though the cicadas behind me
are insanely loud, LOL. Rice balls are usually
neat little triangles, but make it long and slim—
suddenly fancy! Okay, time to taste this Kyoto-style onigiri! Tastes like one my grandma
would have made with love. Not packed too tight—
soft and fluffy in my mouth. This one’s takana pickles. Ohhh! I actually like this one more! Spicy kick of takana
is perfect with the rice. But these cicadas screaming—
can’t do anything about it. LOL I wonder, is summer this noisy
with cicadas worldwide? A middle-aged guy munching rice balls
by the riverbank. A bird watching him closely. Eizan Railway. Whoa, here comes a super cool train! Just as I board, an ad
catches my eye at the station. Wait, what? There’s an even cooler train! Asked the staff—he said,
“It’s the next one coming.” Here it is! Yesss! Never seen a train this stylish before! A one-of-a-kind, almost mystical design. Its name, “Hiei,” comes
from Mount Hiei nearby. Even the inside looks amazing! Bold but still elegant in style. “Elegant” really is the perfect word. Maybe I should’ve dressed better for this, LOL. Train drivers always look so cool, don’t they? The little unmanned stations
are charming too. Can’t believe Kyoto has a line like this! Look at this view—absolutely stunning! Bet this would be breathtaking
in autumn with red leaves! In just 15 minutes we reached
the last stop, Yase-Hieizan-guchi. Kinda wish the ride was longer… Thanks, probably the coolest train on earth! Step out of the station—bam, clear stream. Who knew such a place was
just above Kyoto Station? What feels so nice here is… Cicada voices switched from
loud kumazemi to gentle minmin-zemi. In Kansai, minmin cicadas
only sing in the mountains. Their sound makes me feel
like summer’s really here. Now that I think about it,
haven’t seen people for a while… Am I even on the right path?
Kinda worried, LOL. Enemy of hay fever—cedar trees. Finally, Rurikoin Temple! What is this overwhelming beauty… Even the moss adds
to the scene’s perfection. Wearing shorts here feels
a bit disrespectful, honestly. I came too early, so I’m the first one here. Not even open yet… At 10 a.m., the gates open. A moss-covered garden,
stunningly beautiful. Beauty grabs you before you even reach
the entrance of the house. Right after entering,
you’re guided straight upstairs. Here it is! That famous
black table from Instagram! Known for reflecting the view
like a perfect mirror. Can’t tell what’s real
and what’s just reflection. Absolutely breathtaking… And here’s the reality
behind those Insta shots. Haha. Everyone sticks their phone to the desk
to get the perfect angle. In another room you can try
copying Buddhist sutras. Using a special ballpoint pen
from Rurikoin Temple. They say copying sutras
brings spiritual merit. Writing with focus calms the mind
and helps you relax. Said to work like meditation
or mindfulness practice. But this room is so hot and humid,
I can’t focus at all, LOL. Halfway through, I just wanted
to finish quickly—torture! Supposed to calm my mind,
but I’m more stressed out. Haha. Sweat makes the paper stick
to my hands—so annoying. By the end I was just writing fast
to get it over with. Phew, finally done! Wrote my name, address, wishes,
then offered it up. Downstairs you can sip matcha
while enjoying the garden. But me? I don’t even like matcha… Still glad I came.
But in cool autumn, it’d be perfect. It’s late July now. Kyoto summers are famous for heat—
and yeah, it’s no joke. LOL Usually it’s cooler in the hills,
but not here. No mercy. Haha Found an oasis! Only in Kyoto—
a monk among the customers. Ahhh… revived! Have I come this far—
deep enough for monkeys? Cat Family History Museum Long story short—coming here
was 100% the right call! They spoof tons of world-famous paintings. “Leonyardo Nya Vinci” (Nya = meow)
“Mo-nyalisa” (cat pun) All the titles and captions
are cat-themed puns. LOL In Japanese we add “nya,” the cat meow,
to make silly wordplay. Foreign visitors might miss the puns,
but— it’s still fun just to look around. Even goofy ideas can become a real museum
if you go all in. I’ve been to the actual Egyptian Museum,
but— somehow I’m enjoying this one even more. LOL Can someone make a dog version, too?
I’d go! This one made me laugh most… “Nyagoya Castle” (Nagoya Castle pun)… haha Next up, heading to NyanNyan-ji
(Meow Meow Temple) On a country road with no one around—
I get a bit uneasy sometimes. Arrived in about ten minutes
on foot from the museum. A 100-year-old farmhouse
turned into a temple. The yard is full of ema plaques
with wishes written on them. Cats painted across the sliding doors
of the tatami room. I really like the style of these paintings. There’s even a Buddhist altar
in the next room. LOL Of course, the Buddha figure is a cat. And the offerings? Naturally,
canned cat food. Haha Even the ceiling is covered
with cat paintings. Probably portraits of past abbots… haha A daruma doll with a cat face. Look close—the right paw beckons!
Maneki-neko × daruma collab! Felt a presence behind me,
so I turned around… Aaaah! A giant cat! Same as the museum—this temple proves
passion can shape a whole world. If you chase what you love,
it becomes real like this. Honestly, I respect that so much. It’s a temple, so of course
they have omikuji fortunes. Number fifteen. Yes! Great blessing—daikichi! It says, “Master what you love.”
Exactly what the owners did. I’m starving… heading back to town. A famous omurice place. I hate lines, but it is what it is… Got in after waiting
about fifteen minutes. So many kinds of omurice
on the menu! But I always pick the simplest,
cheapest one. Set that as a rule and you’ll never
waste time choosing. Wait—there’s a “for two” set?! Yeah, lots of couples here today. Order two flavors and share—
that’s the move. Totally not jealous at all…
*sobs quietly* Simple is best! Not the fluffy runny type you see
on Insta, but looks great. I actually prefer this firmer style of egg. Chicken, onion… not sure what else,
but it tastes awesome. Omurice always hits the spot—
even when you’re eating alone. Loved by kids and seniors alike—
good old omurice. Looks Western at first,
but it’s actually from Japan!　Didn’t know that! Kinda looks like something
a Parisian girl would eat. Went to buy stamps
for my postcards— and found super cute,
summery designs! Summer veggies?
Tomatoes and eggplants for sure. Back to the Kamo River. Weather says today’s heat
is off the charts. Hotter than body temperature… So everyone’s cooling their feet
in the river. Looks amazing. Alright, I’m trying it too.
Yes, I copy people fast. Ahh, this feels incredible. Dear Pocari Sweat, call me for an ad. Now at Shimogamo Shrine. The 10-day Mitarashi Festival
is on right now. This shrine is the birthplace
of mitarashi dango. See? A random giant dango monument
just sitting there. LOL Didn’t know the original home
of that dango was here—wow. Spotted a famous shrine on the way,
so quick detour. Kawai Shrine—known as a guardian
for women. Popular for beauty prayers,
so lots of women visit. I’ll pray to be beautiful, too.
Why not? On a mirror-shaped ema, you draw
your ideal face with your own makeup. They say it helps you become beautiful
outside and inside. Everyone here looks so beautiful! She’s the most beautiful one! The festival runs all day long— but people say night is prettier,
so I’ll wait for 7 p.m. sunset. Lanterns are lighting up. First, purify hands at the water basin
beside the torii gate. Vermilion shrine, orange lanterns, sunset—
perfect combo. Whoa—that’s a long line! Paid 500 yen at reception. Go barefoot and receive a candle. Soaking your feet in Mitarashi Pond
washes away sins and impurity. From under that red bridge
is the water zone. When I walk barefoot on grass or sand,
sometimes— does anyone else feel a tickle
down there? Just me? You’d think this kind of water
would be lukewarm by now, right? So many people have been in it
since morning… but it’s shockingly cold! Also it’s pretty deep—
up to my knees! They say it’s just spring water, but it feels like they dumped ice in.
Freezing! A kid yelled, “It’s so cold, it’s hot!”
Legendary line. He was spot on—so cold it burns,
almost painful. Offer the candle and pray
for a healthy year. At night the candlelight reflects
on the water—so dreamy. This fortune shows letters
when dipped in water. Oh wow, it works!
The letters appeared! Yes—great blessing! Daikichi! Though the actual message…
isn’t that great. LOL Money luck: “Spending will pile up.” Glad I could join a festival
that’s lasted over 1,000 years. Thanks. Kyoto after sunset is kinda scary… My fortune said “big spending,”
so— I’ll save money with a capsule hotel. There’s Wi-Fi and TV in the capsule,
so it’s all I need. If I had to complain about one thing— this remote can turn the TV
in the capsule across the aisle on/off. LOL Still crazy hot today.
Kyoto is 38°C (100°F). Dangerous heat!
Even the forecast bunny looks half-dead. I feel half-dead from the heat,
but I’m still hungry… A famous sandwich shop—
the name is Amazon! Founded in 1972. So it existed
before “that” Amazon. The main shop’s in Kyoto Shichijo.
This one’s the second branch. I ordered an egg sandwich
and iced coffee. They make it fresh after you order—
not pre-made. Love that. I’m the guy who needs milk and sugar
in coffee to drink it. Whoa—how is this bread so soft?! It’s so fluffy I can’t even hold it. LOL Weren’t sandwiches invented
to eat with one hand? And yet I can’t manage it
even with two. This is insanely good! It’s a sandwich, but I’m basically
sipping it like a drink. Best sandwich I’ve had—
for sure number one. When it’s too good,
my pinky goes up. Fancy mode. Barely need to chew. This is a drinkable sandwich! Might be the best thing I’ve eaten
in the last ten years. Two stops by train to Ichijoji Station. Today I’m heading to a temple
deep in the hills. To avoid over-touristed spots,
the mountains are best. So I’m going to Tanukidanisan Fudo-in,
a hillside temple. It’s famous for lots of
tanuki (raccoon-dog) statues. Yesterday was cats, today is tanuki. LOL Twenty minutes on foot from the station—
pretty deep into the hills now. Same thought as in Takamatsu:
sightseeing is best early morning. No crowds, so quiet,
and the air tastes amazing. Arrived at the entrance
of Tanukidanisan Fudo-in. A huge welcome from a sea
of tanuki statues. This area is called “Tanukidani,” and folks
call the temple “Tanukidani no Ofudosan.” People started placing tanuki statues
about fifty years ago. Now there are said to be
over 300 of them. So many torii gates! This view really reminds me
of Fushimi Inari Taisha. Ahhh, mountain spring water—
so refreshing! Love how they show the stair count.
Thanks, Mr. Tanuki. Konpira in Takamatsu had 785 steps—
today is much easier. Why 69? Why not a neat 70? LOL Well, 69 is my favorite number,
so I’m good. Yesterday it was “watch for monkeys,”
today it’s “watch for bears”… Kyoto has way more nature
than I imagined. “Almost there!” says the tanuki,
cheering me on. Moss-covered tanuki statues— they’ll probably stand here
for 100, 200 more years. Last twenty steps! Finally reached the main hall! The hall juts out over the cliff—
like Kiyomizu-dera. This is seriously impressive! So much presence. Kiyomizu is great,
but this rivals it. Too many mosquitoes—I’m heading out. Next on the way back: Shisendo. I heard it’s a top spot,
but at first glance it looks like a house. LOL The entrance has great atmosphere—
I’m excited already. Shisendo was the mountain villa
of an Edo-period man of letters. Besides the beautiful view,
the shishi-odoshi sound is soothing. A portrait of Chinese poets
by the Edo painter Kano Tanyu. In 1986, King Charles (then Prince)
and Princess Diana visited here. They say you can enter the garden,
so let’s go. That clack you hear—
that’s a shishi-odoshi. A classic item of Japanese gardens. Turns out Shisendo is where
the shishi-odoshi began! It was originally a device to scare off animals
and protect fields. Did you know? I honestly had no idea until today. LOL I thought it only existed to add mood
to Japanese gardens. Glad I learned that here today—
totally worth it. Look closely and you’ll spot
a little Jizo statue. Lucky me—no one else around,
so I’ll try meditating. There’s a saying: “With a clear mind,
even fire feels cool.” That’s a lie. I’m roasting! I need something cold to eat! Parfait? Warabi-mochi? No, I want a deep, body-cooling chill. This is it! Shaved ice—with kuromitsu and kinako
(brown sugar syrup & roasted soybean flour). Wow, just looking at it
makes me feel cooler! Fluffy ice piled high,
loaded with kinako powder. Then a slow pour of black sugar syrup… Cold and delicious! Then the kinako sticks in my throat—
cue coughing fit. Happens every time with kinako.
I never learn, do I? LOL The black sugar syrup—so good! My body’s cooling down
all at once. For summer heat, you’ve gotta chill
from the inside. This mountain of ice…
how many milliliters is it as water? Gone in a flash. A postcard to myself
from the trip. I’m really into this lately. Stamps are stickers now—
who knew? Nice not having to lick them
with my tongue. Bought another giant soda water. LOL I’m losing water like crazy. The Ichijoji area is actually
a ramen battleground! Thirty shops within a
300-meter radius. Lots of students around, so the number
of shops grew naturally. Fierce competition means
high-quality ramen. Menya Gokkei—famous for rich
chicken broth. Thick! The soup is insanely thick! You can see it’s muddy, with
yellow medium noodles. This is no longer a liquid soup! More like a creamy chicken potage—
that fits better. Absolutely delicious! Looks super heavy, but the taste
is surprisingly clean. The thick chashu is tender
and tasty, too. No funky aftertaste or smell. The menma here is like
three times thicker than usual. Maybe it has to shout that loud
to stand out in this soup. Found Kyoto’s top-of-the-top ramen… I joined the Mitarashi Festival last night, so I can’t leave without trying
mitarashi dango. Here we are—Kamo Mitarashi Chaya. A classic shop founded in 1922. Huge line. No way I’m leaving Kyoto
without eating this! I hate lines, but I’ll wait this time. If it’s over 30 minutes, I’ll bail…
Started the timer, and— turns out takeout orders
get priority. I gave my name and quantity.
Minimum is five sticks. Fifteen minutes later—skipped the line
and got mine. Now to find a nice place
to eat slowly. Coolest nearby spot?
Under the bridge! Fresh off the grill—still warm. Warm dango in this killer heat—
kinda torture. Unlike the cheap ones at supermarkets,
these feel elegant. Just me? The sauce is light and refined. Perfect balance of roast and sweet—
so good. They’re small, so I can pop them
one after another. Lean forward so the sauce
doesn’t hit my pants. The official way to eat mitarashi dango.
Probably. Haha What am I even doing
under this bridge? LOL As usual, I wipe my saucy mouth
with my T-shirt. Riding along the riverside—
kinda romantic. So, the next morning— I decided to rent
a share bike. If I like something,
I copy it fast. First time using a share bike. Thought it’d be hard, but the app
made sign-up super easy! First time on an e-bike, too.
Kinda nervous. Will I handle it okay? Power on! Better learn the controls
before riding. Gears—check! Bell—check! Woooooaaaah! This thing is crazy fast! LOL The first pedal stroke
is super easy. It shoots to top speed
in no time. I’m used to motorbikes, so no side mirrors
makes me nervous. It’s way faster than I thought—
almost 30 km/h? I should really be
wearing a helmet for this. Crash at this speed and you’re gonna die. But wow, it feels amazing. Never thought I’d be riding
along Kyoto’s Kamo River. What is this camera angle? LOL No one wants a close-up
of your sweaty feet! Share bikes are great—
I’ll use them on future trips. There you go again, filming scenes
no one asked for! And you’ll have to go back
to pick up the camera! Wasting both energy and battery. Blazing through ancient Kyoto by bike—
feels oddly proud. Looking for a bike return station… Where is it?! Finally found one! Thanks, share bike. Next time
I’ll try riding in Tokyo. Yesterday’s sandwich was too good,
so I came to the main shop. When I love something,
I repeat it a lot. I’m the careful type—prefer safe picks
over risky experiments. But okay, I’ll at least change
the sandwich this time. Yesterday was too fluffy to hold,
so I’m getting it toasted. Mixed toast sandwich—
half size. It’s only a half, but
it’s still pretty big. Egg, tomato, cabbage, cucumber, etc. Still amazing as always! I can hold the bread now,
but the filling still pops out. Maybe there’s no sandwich on earth
that doesn’t spill. Fluffy egg with crisp veggies. Freshly made, so it tastes incredible. But dude, your T-shirt is
soaked with sweat! Bold move coming to a chic café
dressed like that. LOL Have some shame! The ladies behind you are probably calling you
“Mr. Soaked Tee.” Also, could you stop
raising your pinky while eating? Postcards from the road—
I send them to myself. No friends… This time I visited Kyoto spots
I’d never seen. What I learned: Kyoto in summer
is brutally hot. Maybe I’ll come back in winter. Thanks for sticking with me
for so long. Next up—my first trip abroad
in a while. My first time in Taiwan. I’m so excited I can’t sleep
these days. Alright then, see you again!
