Tofu cuisine is one of the famous delicacy in Kyoto. Like many other types of food, tofu and beancurd (Yuba in Japanese) are cooked in many different ways to create a variety of food. The most common types are tofu in hotpot and beancurd meal. If you like good food, always make a reservation in the famous restaurants, particularly for dinner at the weekends or high seasons such as the cherry blossom period. It’s quite challenging to find the restaurant you like without having to stand in a queue for over an hour because every one wants to have dinner at the same time: after sightseeing and shopping. One of the best possible option is to head over to the JR station (in key cities) which always have some connecting buildings and department stores that have restaurant floors. I noticed that many of the restaurant chains have branches in key JR stations, making it easy to have decent food from well-known restaurants.

If there is only one place you can visit in Kyoto for cherry blossom, the World Heritage of Daigoji is the one! The first temple was built in 874 by a Buddhist monk Rigen Daishi and continued to expand with the support of three consecutive Emperors: Daigo (897-930), Suzaku (930-46), and Murakami (946-67). Many politicians in powers has had close family relationship to the head of the temple, contributing to the continued expansion and construction of new halls and buildings.
