    Smart Coffee French Toast Recipe

    Hiii!! I’m obsessed with the French Toast at Smart Coffee. With my time in Kyoto coming to an end, does anyone know how to dupe the recipe at all? My google-fu has proved inadequate. Thank you all!

    Pokemon go! Where should I go!!

    I am going to Kyoto Japan this weekend and I have no idea where people gather to play Pogo events. This weekend there will be Lapras gigantamax and I don't want to miss it. If anyone knows where should I go or at least who should I ask, please share it to me.

    Recommendations for a celebratory dinner

    Looking for recommendations for places to have a family celebratory dinner in Kyoto.

    We're from Australia but the family has a long connection with Japan. My wife lived and worked in Osaka for 2 years and my parents have been travelling to Japan every year for 10 years visiting lots of different parts and I've been a number of times too.

    It's my mums 70th May next year and there's 8 of us (6 adults and 2 kids) travelling to Japan to celebrate and will be in Kyoto on her birthday.

    I'm looking for any recommendations on special places we could have a birthday dinner.

    Has anyone got Ichiko Aoba tickets for her next concert?

    Hello! I live in Osaka and I tried to get the tickets to Ichiko Aobas Kyoto's concert and they were sold out in the first minute. How is that possible. Could it be bots? Ghibli museum was easier lol. Is there any chance thay a ticket may come avaiable again if someone cancels?

    Many thanks

    Favorite Places in Fushimi?

    Hi all. I'll be living in Fushimi from January through the end of April while I go to school. What are your favorite places/activities in and around Fushimi? I'm really into history, so anything historical is a plus. I won't be too far from Uji, so anything in that area works too.

    Do I need tickets for Rurikō-in Temple? Could help me with the website?

    https://rurikoin.komyoji.com/admission/ It is one of the main things I want to see in Kyoto, so wanted to make sure I do not make mistakes. I am there from 9-11 December. Am I correct that I should buy tickets at the counter? And should I go early because of a lot of visitors? I am also not sure what completely closed means in the English Google Translate? "Please come directly from October 1st to November 8th and December 2nd to December 15th, as these are not reservation periods. 9:00-18:00 (completely closed) during reservation periods only"

    Pottery/ Ceramics classes in Kyoto?

    I've moved to Kyoto for a year to study Japanese and am hoping to start taking some kind of ceramics or pottery classes. Ideally I would like somewhere I could go to once or twice a week but am flexible! As my Japanese improves it would be ideal if there was some level of english (I'm currently working towards the JLPT N4 level).

    If anyone has had a good experience with a one off class or workshop I'm also really interested in that!

    Thank you :)

    For those who want to see some good fall foliage in Kyoto this week

    I just went back from Takao to Hozukyo hike. It has very beautiful right now where you can see few temples with foliage such as Jingo-ji and Saimyo-ji. The hike is ended around Arashiyama.

    It is not crowded and it is an easy hike with well maintained path.

    The bridge near Saimyo-ji

    I followed the path from this link: https://www.insidekyoto.com/takao-hozukyo-hike-via-kiyotaki-kuya-no-taki-waterfall

    This is the short video that I took on Friday (Nov 22, 2024) so you can decide if it is worth it.
