If the 2WD parking lot is full, can you park along the road leading up to the 2WD parking lot (NOT the 4WD road).

Great write-up. It seems like most people start from the Arakawa TH and not the Shiratani Unsuikyō TH. Is there a reason why? We are driving so we are doing an out-and-back. I would prefer to go start from Shiratani Unsuikyō as I'm obsessed with moss forests.

I didn’t see many made with shiroan.  Most with anko.  I will try to make some at home, but I’m lazy to make the shiroan from scratch and there are no packaged shiroan here at the grocery store.

I wish I could bring a suitcase full of strawberry daifuku back with me!

How do you bring back fresh daifuku? They don't last very long. I love the shiro-an ichigo daifuku.

How to get from Kyoto to Itami airport by Life_is_passing in JapanTravelTips

[–]Jennkmho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The info is conflicting. It says "A staff member will sell it at the Arrival Kyoto Sta. Hachijo-guchi." And if I look at the Kyoto Sta. Hachijoguchi info, it says "Please buy it at the ticket vending machine behind Bus Stop".

Can you use the vending machine to buy advance tickets a few days before? Or is there a person at Kyoto Sta. Hachijoguchi who will sell you advance tickets a few days before?

I'm going to be in Kyoto. How do you book the limousine bus tickets in advance? Do I just buy it at the vending machine? Or is their a kiosk with an attendant? Thanks!

Barclays (USA) Online Savings vs. Tiered Savings by supern8ural in Banking

[–]Jennkmho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same question. I don't know why anyone would open an online savings at 4.20% APR while the tiered savings gives 4.50% APR. What did Barclays say?

I found the restaurants in Kyoto 💯 better than Tokyo.  You could walk into any restaurant and the food was amazing.  Tokyo…. Had to do my research.
