Day 3- We are not so much into sight seeing and had done enough of the temples. So we decided to go to the bamboo forest walk and boat ride in river near the Arashiyama temple. We changed 2 buses to reach the area; it was similar to Fushimi-Inari shrine with lot of eating options and gift shops. This time we ate soba noodles. The food was very delicious and the broth uniquely cooked. However, when we asked for more noodles they said that we cannot. The process is if you order noodle dish then you can order additional rice serving to fill your stomach.
And if you order rice dish then you can order additional noodles serving to fill your stomach. This was little annoying but that is what it is. After eating we went to the bamboo forest walk; it ok and can be avoided.
Anyways the river looked nice but we did not want to go for a boat ride. After this we took a direct bus to Nishiki market. To our surprise Nishiki market is the same area as Cxx market. We had heard a lot about Nishiki market but it wasn't anything special just a lot of marinated and dried sea food shops. Nothing much to do here. From Nishiki market we walked to the Gion market area.
It is about 15 minutes walk and this is the most crowded area in Kyoto. The Gion market area looks very traditional. However the shops and restaurants inside are very classy and new.
This is also the area where there is maximum concentration of ghishas. We spotted a couple. We took a small alley and entered a traditional looking bar. In the inside it was as modern as any other up-market bar in the world. Had couple of drinks and headed back to the hustle and bustle.
We walked a little but then decided to come back and eat dinner in our neighbourhood. For dinner we went to the same restaurant as we went on the first night. The beef curry was one of the best I have ever eaten. My wife played some music in the recorder and we had a good time with the lovely owners of the restaurant.
