Arashiyama Yakatabune River Boat

Enjoy scenic Arashiyama from the river.

I was really looking forward to riding a yakatabune boat in Arashiyama and leisurely enjoying views of the Katsura River and the mountains along both banks. Unfortunately, it happened to rain that day, so the boats weren’t operating, and I reluctantly had to give up on this part of the trip!

Although I was a little disappointed, I guess it also gave me a reason to visit Arashiyama again! Next time, I’ll make sure to come on a day with good weather and finally have the yakatabune experience I missed this time, slowly taking in Arashiyama’s beautiful scenery from the boat.

You really need to carry a pack of “Kabaya Salt Charge Candy” with you when visiting Japan in the summer! When it’s hot and you’re drenched in sweat from walking around sightseeing spots, have one of these sweet salt candies. It has a lightly salty, refreshing taste and isn’t too rich. The small pack takes up almost no space in your bag, and it’s very convenient while shopping, waiting in line, or spending long periods outdoors. Summers in Japan are especially scorching, so having one handy for everyday replenishment feels very practical! One of my must-have travel snacks〜

When I saw Chicken Ramen Donburi at a Japanese supermarket, I couldn't resist buying it to try! The noodles cook quickly, and the broth has a light chicken aroma. It tastes mild and smooth without being too greasy. The most convenient part is that you can simply make a bowl and have a whole meal, making it especially suitable when you're busy packing or get hungry at night〜 Add an egg, some chopped green onions, or a little nori, and the whole bowl is instantly upgraded! It's the kind of everyday ramen you can keep at home and cook whenever you feel like it—simple and full of Japanese flavor.
