At Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto, besides admiring the spectacular view from the Kiyomizu Stage, you also shouldn’t miss the famous Jishu Shrine nearby! Jishu Shrine is known for prayers for love and relationships, and many couples and solo travelers make a special visit to worship here. The shrine’s most famous feature is the “Love Fortune Stones.” Many people come here to pray for a good relationship, hoping to meet the person they are destined to be with.

Hanamikoji-dori Street
Hanami-koji Street is a main street crossing Gion north to south from Sanjo to Kenninji Temple. It is “koji” (small alley), but the street is wide and lively with lots of stores hosting many tourists. The Teahouse district still maintains the traditional ambience in the district from Shijo-dori to the south. The original teahouses were on Shijo-dori and to the north of it, which were gathered to the current southern district in Meiji and Taisho Periods.
Strolling slowly along the stone-paved street, you’ll see traditional machiya townhouses lining both sides. Without flashy signs, it’s even easier to appreciate Kyoto’s understated elegance. I couldn’t help slowing down along the way to take in the street views and snap some photos. Every corner felt like a Japanese landscape painting.

Black Thunder
This chocolate snack is very popular for its affordable price of 40 yen and deliciousness. Cocoa cookie and plain biscuit are coated with chocolate. You can taste the light bitterness of a cocoa cookie matched with the sweetness of chocolate. Crunchy texture and the volume which can fill your stomach lightly pleases you.
I think the biggest appeal of Black Thunder is that it's simple and delicious, plus it's affordable and easy to carry, making it a great souvenir from Japan. When shared with family and friends, it also easily becomes a little snack that everyone grabs for.
