Today's route
Sugaura village - Yoshida sake brewery - Saba highway, Kutsuki inn - Koseiji temple - Kochiya Amida temple - Rurikoin temple
It was a grand tour 😆.
We successfully digested it all. All were good!
Rurikouin was open only for a limited time, so it was crowded and ruined the atmosphere 😅.
The staircase at Kochiya was a demon 💦.
I will upload the sake from Yoshida Sake Brewery later.
The photo is of the garden at Koseiji Temple. It is said that Ashikaga Yoshiharu created the garden when he stayed here to escape the upheaval in Kyoto. Then the Kutsuki Inn and the stairs up to Amida Temple in Kochiya.
The evening is at a Kyoto izakaya. We had a whole meal of hamo (pike conger), manganji chili pepper, and saikyo yaki (Spanish mackerel grilled in Kyoto).
The Tomio here is delicious 😋 hard, like hot spring water on the tongue. It was the ultimate in fruity.
Tomorrow, we will finally visit that sake brewery in Fushimi 😎.
