Here is quiet today as well, so it’s good.

The Kyoto Imperial Gardens, where I stopped off for a stroll. While relaxing at a café there, I took a leisurely stroll and look at the view of the Goen.

A very quiet space that I cannot express well. A very relaxing space. Despite being near the hustle and bustle of the city, there is no hustle and bustle here at all. Kyoto is mysterious for having so many such places. Stillness and movement coexist with just the right degree of equilibrium. Living in Kyoto, this is something I feel all the time. I can say this is one of the appeals Kyoto has.

In this quiet space, at the rest stop café SASAYAIORI + Kyoto Goen, I ordered this sweet.

Fukkura Dorayaki Uji Green Tea Special

Fukurai (plump) dorayaki Uji green tea special (1,000 yen)

What? Fukurai dorayaki? Oh, is it true? I am happy to meet you, too. Oh, no, no, no.

There are such menus else this.

The menu seems to be quite extensive as far as I can see.

However, the beauty of spending time in this café is that you can enjoy the quiet and calm space at your leisure. Because you have a relaxing time while being refreshed by the view of the Kyoto Imperial Gardens.

So I found a very good place.

And that’s not all. After a relaxing break, you can also enjoy a leisurely stroll around the Kyoto Imperial Gardens.

Café and strolling.
You can enjoy both enjoyment at the same time.

The enjoyment to experience quiet land which is different from the enjoyment the entertainment offers. I might say it the enjoyment to play freely in a cool and refreshing environment.

Yeah, maybe Kyoto could be such a place.
Suddenly, I noticed that.

That might be the attractive points the tourist spots in Kyoto have. Yes, it must be so.

The enjoyment of static entertainment, being different from dynamic entertainment.

It might be good way to enjoy Kyoto.

Well, now that I’ve had a rest, it’s time to go for a walk.

Thank you very much, SASAYAIORI + Kyoto Goen.
Now, I will be going.
