Come to think of it, it’s actually pretty fun to travel to a relatively more expensive country like Japan but on a budget. It forces the both of us to really explore the cities a lot more thoroughly to see where we can find bargains and places to visit and dine in without making us feel too much heart-pained later.:)
Perhaps it’s because of the area our hotel in Kyoto was, but after walking along Shijo-dori and in both directions towards Karasuma Station and away from it, we’d still yet to find a place for lunch that was open at noon and within our agreed upon budgets. Just when we were about to give up and get bento sets from a family supermarket, we chanced upon a small eatery almost very near our hotel, called Nishinotoin.
Pictures to tell of the visit next!
Our rating for this little restaurant is a solid…
I am taking copious notes!
How are you guys getting along with the language when making orders and such?
We’re going with P.E.P, bud. Tell you what it means in the next post.:)
