On next morning visited Nishiki market (in Kyoto) again which was very crowded. Dropped into a shop ordered grilled seafood and sake before lunch 🙂

On the final day in Kyoto visited Omihachiman again for a day trip. It was filled with Spring ambience – totally different from our last visit 5 months earlier. New green shoots were everywhere along the canal area. Strolled around in the old town area before dropping into a local shop serving famous Omi-gyu (beef) lunch 🙂

After lunch we strolled to the Hachiman Jinja where huge tall columns were raised preparing for the Hachiman Matsuri (Festival) in that weekend.
Had coffee time in the same cake shop before returning to Kyoto.
On the next day travelled back to Fukuoka by Shinkansen. Stayed in latter for o/n before departure.
