Going to Nara is my dream 🥹

[@erikalfan1027]

We were very impressed with the excellent work and unfortunately the weather was less favorable, our friends had to visit it

[@littlenewyorker]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I hope your friends have a great time there as well :)

Unfortunately it was raining in Kyoto, but it made the greenery look more serene, and it seems to match your gentle voice.

[@littlenewyorker]

I actually ended up enjoying the sound of rain on the train and in my room so I think it ended up being a great experience regardless ☺️ Thank you so much for your kind words as always! 🥹

Beautiful hotel but I almost fainted when I checked the fees for a room 😮

[@littlenewyorker]

Me too... even the dinner menu made me gasp a little😵

Happy deer-y toe 🦌

[@myhome772]

Aah, Tsuyu. Is that like Dashi soup seasoned with soy sauce, sugar and mirin? I think that it’s often served with tempuras. And tempuras is good for sharing. Is Kyoto tofu really simply that delightful? It seems likened to that of ambrosia? I mean, if I were to steal a morsel of a bite, would it ignite a scream of fright, “Touch it and I’ll sue you!”? Or would it be alright to share?⬅️Silly Toes

[@littlenewyorker]

Kyoto Tofu is very delightful! But because of that it NEEDS to be shared! Not to be gate-keeped 🥹 happy toes

[@myhome772]

@@littlenewyorker Yeah, gate-keeped like the trolls that live under the bridge right? Trolls might be cute, but their riddles are so annoying. I stay clear of them because I’m not so smart. I mean, who in their right mind want to take the chance of getting eaten by a troll? I say those trolls should try some Kyoto tofu instead.

How much did you pay for the nara souvenirs?(Deer and shirt etc) and how long did it take you to see the golden pavilion in kyoto and all of what you saw in nara? ( hours wise) thanks!

[@littlenewyorker]

Hi! The deer and t-shirt totaled around 4500 yen, and the snacks from Kyoto Station were around 2000 yen. In terms of time spent, I took around 30 minutes for the Golden Pavilion, and 3 hours in Nara but definitely could have made it an hour shorter if I spent less time gazing at the deer. I hope this helps!
