Day 8- Kinosaki/ Kyoto

Early morning went to Jizouyu Bath, just next to my accomodation.
Very decent and spacious Onsen.
Overall, I like Satonoyu Bath most and Jizouyu Bath second. Goshonoyu Bath has the most outdoor bath but just too crowded to my liking.
Kanitama Don 1620yen
Very nice! the eggs is not overcooked and the rice is soupy.

 As Kyoto is 70km away from Japan sea, Nigiri sushi was introduced to Kyoto 80years ago.

Inari Sushi is so flavorable with Hemp seeds
 Saba Sushi is probably the best sushi I ever ate!
Just the rice alone is already tasty. The outer layer is wrapped with konbu (kelp).
