カラオケバーLOVE
Karaoke bar
👍👍 Our time singing Karaoke with the hosts Tomoki Kaesuke Mayumi was unbelievable! We came super early one night so at first it wasn’t super packed but we ended up making conversation and realizing we all loved anime— we ended up singing the Demon slayer theme song with them! Don’t be shy; talk to them...

Tea Ceremony Camellia GARDEN
Tourist attraction
😠 I am going to further develop the reason for evaluating the activity with the lowest possible grade (because I cannot give less than 1/5). I will do it in order:

GEAR /Non-Verbal theatre
Performing arts theater
👍👍 Gear was great! We made a good choice by going in the morning and there was a same day discount. Go in the morning and get the tickets! Went for lunch nearby then went for the show. It's really good entertainment and good special effects! Refer to my pictures for details!

Rokuon-ji Kinkaku (Golden Pavilion)
Buddhist temple
👍 For about ¥500 you can take a walk through a path that leads you to a lake with a temple which walls are covered with gold. Crowds of people are taking photos of it because it is the only attraction here. Still it looks really picturesque. A bit overpriced for that only temple. Guides say that 20kg...
