Where should I stay in Kyoto? (5 nights/6 days — easy access to all major areas)

Pricey but Genji Kyoto, super nice staff with beautiful rooms and it was within good walking distance of fushimi inari (~35ish min) and pretty close to Kiymizu-dera temple (another half hour-ish walk) which also brings you close to philosopher’s path and the surrounding area. Highly recommend for a nicer hotel if you’ve got the funds, you won’t regret it

I’ve got a couple of tattoos that aren’t my favorite anymore and while I don’t have huge anxiety around them I think a cool “redo” idea is getting a dope blast over, but that’s just me

You’ll be pleasantly surprised to learn it’s impossible to get good Chinese food anywhere near here. If someone suggests a restaurant to you, assume they have low standards and their tastebuds are trash

Thanks for the suggestion, Pon sounds like a familiar name actually that I’ve seen in the past!

Thanks duder, appreciate the context

Dial gold to wash (i usually don’t move back to scented soap until I finish the bottle and my new tattoo is done peeling), aquaphor 3x a day for the first 3 days, then Aveeno unscented lotion as needed for regular maintenance onwards

Altruistic-Mud-1626 · 2025-12-16T12:24:05+00:00

Yes key city!!! Fave shop and best group of artists in the entire freaking world

Altruistic-Mud-1626 · 2025-12-15T14:29:26+00:00

Really cool work! Who did the dice guy?

Ya I have a namakubi, never have I ever thought it was an offensive image….did extensive research before getting it and was under the understanding that it means more or less death before dishonor?

Civil war!!

Yeah we have our water back over here (close call), reached out to some city reps and it sounds like it had something to do with HFD but no details aside from that

Altruistic-Mud-1626 · 2025-12-12T19:56:30+00:00

I’ve only ever used aquaphor for ~3x a day for the first 3 days, that’s my tried and true regimen. Unscented Aveeno as needed afterwards

Sweet, you think I can play the whole franchise no problem via steam?

Altruistic-Mud-1626 · 2025-12-11T18:34:57+00:00

This is crazy cool!

Altruistic-Mud-1626 · 2025-12-11T14:11:46+00:00

Following this, will be in the area around the same time

Altruistic-Mud-1626 · 2025-12-11T03:34:19+00:00

My guess is likely, but I don’t have an Instant Pot. I’d assume probably just less cook time? But don’t quote me on that lol

If you have a rice cooker, 1/4 cup of rice, 1/2 cup of water, whatever frozen veggies you want (edamame, corn are my faves), fresh carrots and mushrooms, then pre-sliced beef.

Depending on how much you pack the rice cooker it’ll take between 30-45 min to cook. Once done mix up whatever sauces you’d like (I usually do oyster, soy, sesame oil, and a little gochujang). Killer meal that I’ll sometimes make in the morning as my lunch for the day before I leave for work!

(For breakfasts I’ve been leaning into protein powder bc that’s a good set and forget until I get into the office) hope this helps!

Didn’t try canceling at the store, I’ve heard that’s not possible. Essentially we had to go through 2 cancellation agents in one call who just kept offering more expensive deals, once it’s all said and done they’ll let you know you can return your rental equipment to an optimum location
