It was our free and easy day. We took the train to Karasuma Station and headed towards Kyoto International Manga Museum (800Y). If you have Kansai One Pass, do bring along as you will be given a free postal card upon presenting it to the counter.
From Karasuma Station, you will still need to walk around 15 minutes to reach the Manga Museum.
You will pass by this playground. It is amazing that the place was well maintained. There was a sand pit that allows the kids to play with.

Kyoto International Manga Museum
It has a soothing and relaxing ambience 🌳that allow you to read your manga (comic books) outdoor.
To be honest I was rather disappointed with the fact that almost all of the manga are in Japanese language. I would not recommend this place if you cannot understand Japanese. But I was quite happy to find my favourite comic - Shin Chan 😍.
Side track : I wish we have these canggih toilet functions in Malaysia as well. 👍
After that, we went to Nishiki Market. You really need to bring enough money to enjoy all the delicacies here.
First stop - The famous Soymilk doughnuts (10 pieces - 300Y, 23 pieces - 600Y). It's delicious 😋even for someone who doesn't fancy soymilk like me. You would see a long queue for the soymilk doughnuts or soybean milk soft ice cream.
Takoyaki (140Y).
Takoyaki has always been one of my favourite food in Malaysia. But the takoyaki in Japan is so different from the one I am familiar. They made it lembik (soft) and mushy; whereas the one made in Malysia has more flour in it, which made the texture more solid. It is still hard for me to accept that this is the real takoyaki 😐.
Walk further down the lane, you would see people crowding around this stall for prawns.
The prawns are so fresh and simply delicious. But it is quite expensive. One prawn stick is 500Y 😱.
Another must-eat item - Octopus (300Y). The price varies according to the size of the octopus.
What makes it interesting is that it has a quail egg in the octopus head. Seriously no idea how they put it in. 😨
Yummy scallops (500Y)
Salmon Sashimi (400Y) 💓
Matcha Warabi Mochi (300Y)
I was quite disappointed with this as I thought it would be chewy mochi. Turned out to be more like jelly and its too sweet to my liking.
After so much of eating, we went to my favourite shopping mall - AEON Mall.
Not as great as I expected. It was just another shopping mall. The food bought at the supermarket was not that great as well.
As we were heading towards our last stop - Kyoto Tower, we found a long queue at a cheese tart shop. Bought one original cheese tart (216Y). It was yummyyy 😆.
Took the train to Kyoto Station just to have a view of Kyoto Tower.
That sums up for Day 4!
