We took a day trip to Kyoto, which took about an hour. Instead of visiting the more popular Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, Viet suggested we visit Adashino Nenbutsuji Temple instead. It's less popular and less crowded. It also has a small bamboo grove. It was a 30-minute walk from the Kyoto station, and along the way, there are these cute local shops right before the Temple.
When we arrived, it was quite empty. We were able to get solo pictures at the nice bamboo grove. On the way back, we stopped by a small shop and had beer and sake. It's very quiet and quaint.
We were hungry, so we searched along the way back to the station for a restaurant to dine at and accidentally stumbled upon UcacoCeramics. I had forgotten that I was looking for Kintsugi pieces and saw a sign outside that advertised Kintsugi classes. So I popped in and spoke to the owner. She was very nice, and she was selling some pieces that she had made. Prices were extremely reasonable, but I didn't realize how reasonable the prices were until I started looking for other Kintsugi pieces later during our trip. Surprisingly, Kintsugi pieces are difficult to find and can be expensive. UcacoCeramics doesn't have a website, but you can find them on IG. UcacoCeramics was located inside Sen-Oh restaurant.
We returned to Osaka and ended our day with dinner at Yakitori Torikizoku Dontonbori.
