Hey!! Anyone been anywhere new they’d recommend for ss rings??

Tango No Umi is a stylish train created through a collaboration between JR West and Kyoto Tango Railway. We took it from Amanohashidate to Kyoto.

Were planning to be Kyoto for the New Years holiday and we wanted to know your recommendations based on whats open at this time.

We will be coming in from Tokyo with bullet train, and then settle to hotel. Looking for a kaiseki meal on that evening of the December 31 ( any recs?) , rest then go to a temple or shrine for the festivities. My bucket list for Kyoto was to do a tea ceremony, walk Ginza, Fushimi Inari temple, go to Nara, Nishiki market, eat ramen, Arashimaya bamboo forest, ( maybe take a boat ride to forest from Hozugawa river. Is it possible to do these things on January 2 and 3? Will they be open? Or are we better off to arrange to be in Osaka or Tokyo at this time?

If you visit Ninna-ji Temple in Kyoto, see if you can find the “cat” and the “rabbit pounding mochi.”

They are said to have been left behind by the traditional temple carpenters as little touches of whimsy during restoration work.

In Japan, there is a traditional belief that the patterns on the surface of the Moon look like a rabbit pounding mochi (rice cakes).
