Yudofu Sagano
Near the renowned Tenryu-ji Temple in Arashiyama, famous for its Sogenchi Garden and dragon ceiling painting, lies Yudofu Sagano, a specialty restaurant offering exquisite tofu hot-pot meals. Guests enjoy dining while appreciating the scenic beauty of a traditional Japanese garden, all within an impressive modern Sukiya-style building designed by renowned architect Togo Murano. The establishment comprises two main buildings: the original main building primarily featuring traditional tatami seating, and an annex equipped with table and counter seating. On pleasant days, outdoor bench seating overlooking the garden is also available.
Yudofu is one of the classic Zen vegetarian dishes in Kyoto, and it was originally eaten by temple monks. Now it's become a signature food in Arashiyama! 👍

LeTAO Otaru Main Store
Known for its "Fromage Double" cheesecake made from Hokkaido-produced fresh cream and carefully selected mascarpone cheese, this confectionery store in Otaru enjoys nationwide popularity. Located at the tourist-frequented Märchen Crossroads in Otaru, LeTAO Main Store opened in 1998. The store's name, meaning "Dear Tower of Otaru," is reflected in its impressive European-style exterior reminiscent of a large tower.
You have to buy the LeTAO Double Fromage cheesecake when you come here! Plus, there's a free observation deck you can go up to!

Susano Shrine
Established in 795 during the Heian period, this venerable shrine has the largest parish area in the Arakawa district and continues to garner deep respect from the locals. The shrine is dedicated to the brave deity "Susano-Okami," who vanquished the serpent Yamata-no-Orochi, and "Asuka-Okami," revered as "Ebisu-sama" and associated with the prosperity of commerce and thriving businesses.
During the festival, the whole street is lined with all kinds of food stalls. It's super lively!
