Travel Sean

這次是第一次來京都自由行，在選擇飯店的需求上，主要希望「交通方便」、「飯店不要太舊」，在訂房網站上搜尋了一下，最後選擇了這間京都四條河原町 Forza 飯店，除了地點就在四條河原町站附近之外，直接從地下街就可以走進飯店，在天氣非常冷的時候，不用走上外面吹風，是很不錯的一個優點。

This was our first independent trip to Kyoto, and when picking a hotel our main criteria were "convenient transport" and "not too old a building." After searching the booking sites for a while, we settled on Hotel Forza Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi. Besides being located right by Shijo Kawaramachi Station, you can walk straight into the hotel from the underground shopping street — a really nice plus when the weather is freezing, since you don't have to go outside into the wind.

嵐山是京都熱門的觀光景點，除了有許多可以購買紀念品或伴手禮的店之外，這裡也有很多的餐廳選擇。在嵐山最熱鬧的大街上，有一間「嵐山喜重郎」，隱身在旁邊的小路中，要不是門口有招牌，不然一般人很容易就錯過不會發現這間店。

Arashiyama is one of Kyoto's most popular tourist areas. Besides the many shops selling souvenirs and gifts, there are also plenty of restaurant options here. Tucked away in a small side lane off Arashiyama's busiest main street is "Arashiyama Kijurou" — if it weren't for the sign at the lane entrance, most people would easily walk right past without ever noticing this restaurant.

Miyako Soba & Udon 是一間專賣烏龍麵與蕎麥麵(其實還有一些壽司)的小餐廳，特別的是他沒有座位，顧客都是圍繞著吧台站著吃飯。由於位於我們住的飯店斜對面，前一天晚上無意間發現這家小店，而且竟然一大早 7:30 就開始營業了，就決定找一天早晨來當作早餐。

Miyako Soba & Udon is a small restaurant specializing in udon and soba (and actually some sushi too). What makes it special is that there are no seats — customers all stand around the counter to eat. Since it sits diagonally across from our hotel, we stumbled across this little shop the night before, and were surprised to find it opens as early as 7:30 in the morning, so we decided to come by one morning for breakfast.

季之美是日本首間琴酒蒸餾廠，一直都是琴酒中表現亮眼且屬於中高價位的一個品牌，這次來到了京都，當然要來參觀一下季之美在京都展示店，House of KI NO BI。

KI NO BI comes from Japan's first gin distillery, and it has always been a standout, mid-to-high-priced gin brand. Since I was in Kyoto this time, I of course had to visit KI NO BI's Kyoto showroom, House of KI NO BI.
