#getgoing2025 Awamochi-dokoro Sawaya in Kyoto is a true taste of history. This sweet shop has been serving its signature awamochi since the Edo period, and it’s clear they’ve perfected their craft. The menu is simple but flawless, offering just two options: kinako (toasted soybean flour) or koshi-an (smooth red bean paste). I tried both, and they were heavenly—the soft, slightly chewy texture of the awamochi pairs perfectly with the toppings. The shop’s location near Kitano Tenmangu Shrine makes it an ideal stop after sightseeing. If you’re looking for an authentic and delicious Kyoto experience, you can’t miss Sawaya! 🏖️BAmbiance/Facilities: Awamochi-dokoro Sawaya 📍Address: 838-7 Kamiyagawacho, Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto, 602-8384 💞Reasons to Recommend: Delicious mochi ⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ #trip #travel #traveling #Kyoto #cafe #chill

In fact, Kyoto does not only have cherry blossoms and red leaves to see, but plum blossoms also look good! Now there are only sporadic early cherry blossoms in Kyoto, and the cherry blossoms will not be completed until the end of next month. The friends who have recently come to Kyoto to play are not as good as going to the Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, where the annual plum blossom festival just opened, plum blossoms. Already done very well!

Among the many shrines in Kyoto, the most popular among the students is the Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, because the god that is dedicated here is Japans wenqu star Sugawara. The sages of this Heian era are famous for learning the five cars of the Fu, but they were exiled because of the rumors of the villain, and they died on the way. After the death of Sugawara, there were various spiritual events in Kyoto. The Emperor thought that it was caused by his grievances. In order to calm down, he built this Kitano Tenmangu. Sugawara was really a great poet at the time, and he became famous by his knowledge. He gradually became the god of learning in the eyes of the Japanese. Many recent candidates will come to Kitano Tenmangu to ask for a sacred blessing for academic achievement. I hope that the god of learning can bless you to the ideal school. In addition, there are more than a thousand plum blossoms that were originally loved by Sugawara in the Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. They are open from the end of February to mid-March and are different from the cherry blossoms. At the same time, it is also a great maple resort.

I like the fresh and natural life of the Japanese. Just walking in is just like an observatory. You can look down and be completely shocked. The following is all about Maple Leaf. Is this really beautiful? It feels too shocking to look at God! After walking down, the maple trees here are particularly tall and dense, just like being surrounded by a huge maple leaf barrier. This bridge is the famous scene of Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. It is really beautiful and beautiful when you stand on the bridge. It is very recommended! It is my first night in this trip! People are not too many. If you come back next time, you will want to see what it looks like during the day.
