slow travel
8:00 AM
Grab this fluffy sourdough topped with pineapple, bacon and ricotta cheese in Maana Homes' traditional Japanese coffee house – seasonal and delicious.
9:42 AM
The big sights can wait (even though it’s tempting to try and squeeze them all in). Walk around the Higashiyama Ward, stopping at Loose Kyoto for freshly baked doughnuts and a strong drip, then cross the river for a spot of shopping.
12:00 PM
Unlike the 'fake food' on display at Nishiki Market (it’s always so fun to take a look at) head for the real deal at Motoi Gyoza for lunch. Grab a counter seat and order Papa's gyoza (plump and chewy shrimp parcels).
2:30 PM
Explore Nijo Castle (stop by later in the day to avoid the crowds) before grabbing an iconic egg sandwich from a Lawson convenience store (for as talked about as they are, they are superior for a reason).
5:36 PM
Met your step count? Head back to the hotel for a soak in your tub and embrace the Japanese bath ritual.
8:30 PM
There's nothing better for dinner than okonomiyaki, a savoury pancake with a cabbage batter often called 'Japanese pizza.' We love Yasubee's fried noodle topping.
