Walk around and lots to see around and I just can't get enough of the Yasaka Temple's pagoda
As I was poking around, I found this cute little temple
What they're known for are these colorful little bubble like Ema (where you write your wishes), just that instead of wooden panel, you get these fabric balls at Yasaka Koshin-do Temple, which means of colorful bliss. Very colorful and super cute.
On the way back to my hotel, I smell waffle, and of course I have to follow my nose.
Sign for red bean (Azuki beans) and Fish that can only means....
Taiyaki!!!!!
For 350 yen (that's less than $2USD), you get a waffle fish made to order.
Hot off the press, mine has red bean paste inside.
There's two ways to enjoy this. You can sit down, order a bunch of these with different fillings. Or get a set, with a taiyaki and a drink to enjoy the afternoon. Or, you can go to their walk-up window and wait as they make your dessert. That said, don't forget that eating while walking in Japan is frown upon. Best pocket that and enjoy it when you have a chance to sit down.
