Lovely Kiyomizu-dera (temple) in the morning. Took a different route going up the hill and coming back down. Leisurely strolled around the entrance area. I've been there before so we didn't go deeper into the rest of the temple. After exploring, we headed down the famous vibrant street lined with souvenir and snack shops. Love the atmosphere and the goodies. A must-visit!
Off to a kaiseki lunch we’d been so looking forward to. It’s situated near a (beautiful in April) canal along Shijo Dori. Took some time to locate it as we were on the wrong side of the canal. Anyway it’s near the main road and beside Mcdonald’s so if you find yourself walking too deep in you’re probably on the wrong track. Taken from wiki, "Kaiseki is a traditional multi-course Japanese dinner. The term also refers to the collection of skills and techniques that allow the preparation of such meals, and are analogous to Western haute cuisine." This restaurant offers 3 lunch menus at 4200, 7350 & 10500円. The 4200 one that we chose was impressive enough. Each item presented to us was really pretty and exquisite. Will definitely be back to try the others!

After lunch, nice to walk it off at the main canal just two streets away.
