First we will go to Daitokuji which is a collection of small zen temples. Though there are more than 20 of them, usually only 4 are open for public. We will visit three of them. Each temple has its own uniqueness with differently designed stone gardens. Nowadays Kyoto is getting very crowded, but if we go to Daitokuji early in the morning, it is very quiet usually and we can sit in front of stone garden and relax. If you would like to meditate, you can try to do that too!!!
After going through those temples, we will go to the Aburimochi store. One of the two shops started in the year 1000! They have been in business for more than 1000 years. Their mochi is considered the origin of all the Japanese sweets. We can sit in the outside area and eat the mochi with tea.
We will go to Imamiya Shrine afterwards. I could let you know how to properly visit a Japanese shrine including how to pray! Plus there is an interesting story behind this shrine that many Japanese ladies come and pray here.
