Some parts of the mountain trail have big elevation changes. It took a bit of time, but I managed to finish the Kumano Kodo hike without any problems.

Himeji Castle
This castle is a World Heritage Site and a Japanese castle masterpiece. The main keep, built by Ikeda Terumasa in the early Edo period, has a five-story exterior, one basement level, and six stories above ground on the inside, making it the largest Edo period castle tower still standing.
Climbing to the top of the main keep is seriously exhausting, but the view is totally worth it! You can see all of Himeji City from up there!

Kobe Pudding
With its gentle sweetness, deep richness, and smooth mouthfeel, Kobe Pudding also offers a refreshing citrus liqueur aftertaste. The separately packaged caramel sauce, with its pleasantly bitter sweetness and roasted aroma, adds to the special experience of pouring it yourself.
The egg flavor is really rich, and every bite is super satisfying. The slightly bitter caramel at the bottom goes perfectly with the pudding.

Shinkyogoku Shopping Street
Spanning approximately 500m from Sanjo Street to Shijo Street in the heart of Kyoto, Shinkyogoku Street buzzes daily with locals, tourists, and school trip students. The Shinkyogoku Shopping Street, celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2022, stands as Japan's second oldest shopping district.
This shopping street connects to Teramachi Street, so it's even more fun to explore both together.
