Marc UKG: The pandas makes this totally worth going. The rest of the park is rather weird with an old school theme park and a safari zone where you can drive through with a car. Entrance fee is quite high.
Marc UKG: Great pork ramen and friendly staff. If you do not like pork you should probably avoid this place since the menu has only a few alternatives.
Marc UKG: If this is the japanese version of McD it's lightyears ahead of the original. Burgers are made once they are ordered and they taste really great.
Marc UKG: Loved the creaking floorboards inside the castle. Try to not make a sound while walking inside the rooms. The garden is beautiful too with a teahouse that has tasty scratched ice with mango.
Marc UKG: Great brand with authentic military and workwear clothing. Kinda pricey, but definitely worth it. Unfortunately they do not offer tax free shopping.
Marc UKG: Go up to the top. It is is exhausting, but only few tourists do it, so you can actually take pics without having 50 strangers in your way and you'll be rewarded with a nice view of Kyoto.
Marc UKG: The main attraction for me was actually the forest around the shrine. For a short time you can forget that you are actually in one of the busiest cities in the world.
Marc UKG: Been there for the Studio Ghibli exhibition in September 2016 which was brilliant. It's on the 52nd floor so you will also get a great view over Tokyo.
