The Edge of Higashiyama

Our first full day in Kyoto. We stayed literally on the edge of Higashiyama – where the Kamo River intersects Sanjo Dori in a tiny flat about 5 mins from Sanjo Station. This is entirely insignificant fact gave me the idea for the amazingly inventive title. It was very cool area to stay in anyway.

These pitchas were taken on and around Sanjō Ōhashi, one of many bridges that spans the Kamo River. The friendly peoples busting some shapes for me on the banks of the river in the last photo appeared to be practising flash-mobbing.

Shibuya, Harajuku to Yoyogi Park & Meiji Shrine | 01

We headed down to Shibuya to watch lots of people crossing the road at a famous looking crossing. After that we wandered around stumbled upon this ramen restaurant which turned out to be a real winner, so much so that I made a famous special post all about it.

Shimokita to Yoyogi Park

We left Shimokitazawa with a plan to go to Yoyogi Park and visit Meiji Jungu. The journey took a while longer than we anticipated so we decided to walk part of the way and then walk around Yoyogi Park for a while and leave Meiji Jungu until the next day.

We found some cherry blossoms but there were lots of people engaged in the act of selfie taking and it was getting a bit dark so I didn’t get many frames of the chezzer blossoms. Emily had more luck than me.

金伝丸渋谷本店 Ramen Restaurant – Shibuya

金伝丸渋谷本店 Ramen Restaurant – Shibuya

We just stumbled on this ramen restaurant in Shibuya and liked the look of it. It appeared to be patronised by passing travellers and Tokyoites grabbing a bite for lunch and looked plenty busy.

You’re required to place your order at a machine that will vend a ticket that you give to a member of staff. No money, no yummy. Address and some other info-goodies are below if you want to be as cool as us and go there as well.
