Суббота, первое июня. В 12.11 вышел из дома,...

Saturday, the first of June. At 12.11 he left the house, met with Sergey. We went great on Fushimi Inari. Famous rows of red shinto gates of torii. Everything turned out to be not quite as I imagined from the pictures. A huge number of gates, a lot of temples, altars, at first a lot of tourists, but the further you go, the fewer people, because not everyone will climb the mountain for so long. Made a bunch of pictures. Great views of the city from the mountain. Then they went back down, went on bicycles to look for the most unusual Starbucks. He is the only (?) In Japan, which is located in the authentic building of the former tea house. Outside and inside, the original appearance has been restored and preserved. We were not inside, we decided to wait until we gathered the whole company. Then there were temples, parks, pagodas, I don’t know the names, because by that time I got tired. In one of the parks, passing through the "food path" standard for tourist places with street vendors, they decided to eat ice chips with syrup. Guess how much a glass of ice and syrup costs in one of the busiest tourist spots in the city? Have you thought? 300 yen. About 180 rubles. In St. Petersburg, they would sell at least 500 rubles at least in some Petrodvorets. The price tag is adequate for everything. We visited the famous (and, as it turned out, extremely small) quarter of Gion, the geisha quarter. Taking pictures is forbidden, but absolutely everyone does not care. There is a real school of geishas, ​​several girls were captured in the photo. They move fast, try to ride a taxi, as crowds of curious tourists are apparently completely tired of it. Passed by the kabuki theater. Ticket prices, they say, are about 16,000 yen (9.5k rubles). They came to buy me shorts in seven (!) Floor H&M. I am neither an amateur nor a connoisseur of shops, but the scope is impressive. Unfortunately, men's clothing is only 1 floor. As a result, I bought denim shorts, a T-shirt and a set of 7 pairs of socks for 5,200 yen (3k rubles). It may be cheaper, but the expert said that things are good =). I hope so. We visited the famous Don Quixote store. Everything is there .... well, or almost everything. Food, goodies, key chains, clothes, electronics, sporting goods ... you can walk, like listing, for a very long time. They wanted to buy swimming trunks in the Japanese style (whoever doesn’t know, the Japanese wear swimming trunks-wide shorts. Panties "in a sliver", as we have here, are simply absent as a commodity). We found out that pleasure is not cheap. The most budget option with a tax will cost about 3k rubles. We thought they didn’t dare to buy. Then we had lunch with a delicious gudon in one of the eateries of the well-known chain. Then Sergey offered to go to Kyoto station (whatooooooo?). What interesting could be at the station? Who knew what was cooler there than in a good half of the sights. A huge building of an unusual design, viewing platforms almost on the roof, illuminated steps that convey a moving picture, a romantic garden with lighting and sounds of singing birds. Once again: this is the station !!! Shock. Just a shock. They rolled back home at 10.16 p.m. 10 hours of trips, trips - this is very strong for me. But the day is amazing. Photos will be added to the album as far as possible
