Arashiyama is located west of the Kyoto city center. If you go from Kita-senri by Hankyu, the fare is still 400 yen as it is part of Kyoto.

Soy Beans “YUBA” Soft Ice Cream
It is made by the layers of dried soy milk that you get when you place soy milk under room temperature
It is super soft and rich in flavor! Highly recommended to soy milk lovers!

三船祭 finally begins!
We decided to rent some boats and raft along with the parade!
It was absolutely fun, and we got the closer than ever experience to the performing boats.

Macha Soba
Kyoto is famous for macha, and they can literally integrate anything with macha – including soba!

My first cremia! I can not reiterate how much I love this ice-cream! <3 It’s my favorite ice cream ever! It’s like having cold butter in your month, but better, a lot better! The cone … is not just a regular cone that you would have anywhere else. Instead, it is a cone made with REAL COOKIES. They are perfect match together, and creamia just tastes like heaven. <3
