Kyoto - I can't get past you and saying goodbye to the mainland in Osaka

Kyoto welcomes me with a little touch of rain, which quickly disappears, allowing for a trip to some sights that had unfortunately already closed.
So after 4pm you can get ready for the nightlife :)

After a snack in the Izakaya, there was a gift - a wonderful souvenir - a chopstick rest made of ceramics - unnecessary, but somehow fabulous.

In Kyoto, I visited some temples - very touristy and most of the time you are pushed from photo spot to photo spot.

In the stone garden at Ryōan-ji, it is not immediately apparent that there are 15 stones. - Conclusion for me: Everything is a matter of perspective and sometimes you can also move (physically) to other places to get a more complete insight.

After Kyoto, I made a stop in Osaka at an onsen with sleeping accommodations. There wasn't just an onsen, but also a library with almost every manga comic you can imagine, a room where snow falls, a traditional Japanese restaurant, this time with soba noodles - however you're supposed to eat them - and so Osaka ends as it started, with a long bathing evening.
