KYOTO KYOTO KYOTO. We fell in love with KYOTO. We didn't imagine it would be so much fun there. Every small street, there were something to find and discover. Every shops we went in had more than 300 years of family run history. Every temple we visited was build more than 500 years ago at least. KYOTO KYOTO KYOTO. We will come back for sure. We just fell in love with KYOTO.

OMG. Rice bowl with Fried chicken on top. TORI KARA AGE DON.
最高。とり唐揚げ丼は鳥安で。

Our first hotel called "ISHIHARA" was a traditional small inn in Kyoto. We selected the hotel because we heard it was Akira Kurosawa's regular hotel when he was visiting Kyoto. We even stayed in a room called "Akira Kurosawa room".
最初の晩に泊まった旅館の石原。清潔で昔ながらの佇まい。なんでこの旅館を選んだかっていうとここは黒澤明の定宿だったって聞いたから。しかも「黒澤明の部屋」っていう部屋に泊まることができた。

It was so interesting to hear how he was from the owner of the hotel.
宿の女将さんから黒澤明の話を聞くのはすごく面白い体験だった。

Basically he was a descent drinker(Suntory White Horse Whiskey+water), smoker and talker that he kept on talking to his staff and people from the hotel for 6-7 hours　in this room!
黒澤明はホワイトホースの水割りを飲みながら、煙草を吸って自分のスタッフと旅館の人たちに囲まれてずーっとしゃべり続けているのが常だったそう。6-７時間も。

He had a brain attack in this room at the age of 85. He was brought to hospital and died 3 years later.
黒澤明が８５の時、この部屋に宿泊している間に脳卒中で倒れて病院へ運ばれ、結局三年後に亡くなったのだそう。

KYOTO IS COOL. and I ate so much rice there.
京都最高。そしてご飯を三膳も食べた。
