After touring around a lot in the morning, it was time to get hungry again. For lunch, we went to Udon Endo, a restaurant. The owner, Mr. Endo, is a famous "carrier" who used to make his living wholesaling fish to famous Kyoto restaurants, inns, and restaurants. Using his connections and knowledge from that time, he is able to offer delicious fish at reasonable prices. Udon for lunch is also a specialty, and a set of udon of your choice, sashimi (three kinds), and rice with pickles for 880 yen is surprisingly cost-effective.

When you get off at Tofukuji Station, you cannot miss Tofukuji Temple. The temple is the head temple of the Tofukuji sect of the Rinzai Sect of Zen Buddhism and boasts a magnificent temple complex. The temple is one of the five temples of Kyoto, and has 25 temples and pagodas, and is crowded with green maple trees from May to June and magnificent autumn leaves from mid to late November. It is a place you will want to visit again and again as it changes its expression with the changing nature.

When you come to Kyoto, you don't want to miss out on matcha sweets. ［Otanien Tea Shop, located near Tofukuji Temple, is an Uji tea specialty store established in 1930. In the coffee shop corner, you can enjoy rich Japanese sweets made with Uji tea selected by a discerning connoisseur. Especially recommended is the hearty parfait, which includes homemade Uji tea soft serve, green tea sponge cake, and bracken rice cake all in one dish.

When your trip is getting to the big end, head to the "Kyoto Station Area" for convenient access to the city. Let's visit the inside of Kyoto Tower, a familiar landmark of Kyoto. First, enjoy the 360-degree view of Kyoto from the observation deck on the 4th and 5th floors. After that, go to [Kyoto Tower Sand] on the 1st and 2nd basement floors. Find your favorite souvenirs on the floor where you will find a variety of Kyoto-style souvenirs. There is also a food hall where you can enjoy Kyoto's gourmet food and a hands-on floor where you can experience Kyoto's unique Japanese culture, allowing you to fully enjoy the charm of Kyoto.

The course concludes with a Kyoto-style meal at Pickled Vegetables isoism. The signature dish is a variety of "pickled vegetables" that are not bound by traditional pickling techniques, but are instead marinated in miso, sake lees, oil, and other unique sauces. The time required for pickling, as well as the ingredients used, such as dried squid meat and duck meat, are carefully selected. The vegetables' natural flavors are brought out to the fullest.
