A Trip to Kyoto (17-24 Apr) – Part 3

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on A Trip to Kyoto (17-24 Apr) – Part 3

We ended our first night in Kyoto early and woke up early the next morning. It’s day 2, 19th April.

A Ride on the Sagano Romantic Train

Our first stop was Torokko Kameoka Station to catch the Sagano Romantic Train to Arashiyama. We took a train from Kyoto Station to Torokko Kameoka Station. Sagano Romantic train is a sightseeing train in which you’ll be greeted with different kinds of views every season.

It’s a Hot Day at Arashiyama

After the train ride, we arrived at Arashiyama. We had our meals at Arashiyama. Not a proper sit-down meal as we didn’t have the luxury of time. We just bought whatever seemed interesting for the sake of filling our stomachs.

It’s my second time here. The first time was way back in summer 2018. It’s my first trip to Japan. My friends brought me here. My first cold soba was here too. I didn’t expect the weather to be so warm as if it were summer. It’s in April, it should still be spring, but the sun and heat were comparable to the summer heat in August.

What to See & Do at Randen Arashiyama Station
Strolling Along the Street
Togetsukyo Bridge & Arashiyama Monkey Park

Togetsukyo Bridge is a 155-meter bridge that was built across the Katsura River. I love the views here. We planned to visit Arashiyama Monkey Park (also known as Iwatayama Monkey Park), but we’re too late. It’s closed. We also just found out that an entrance fee was needed.

We overshot our preplanned timing. Hence, it’s a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, we won’t be in time to go back to the city to visit Nishiki Market. This will be in the next post.

KUCHING, SARAWAK, 9 July 2025 — The Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) today launched its MD Business Digitalisation Initiative (BDI) in Sarawak, marking its first rollout in East Malaysia. This strategic effort aims to accelerate inclusive digital growth by equipping micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) with innovative tools to boost productivity, streamline operations, and future-proof their businesses.

MDEC BRINGS BUSINESS DIGITALISATION INITIATIVE (BDI) TO SARAWAK

The event was officiated by YB Dato Sri Haji Julaihi bin Haji Narawi, Minister for Utility and Telecommunication Sarawak.

Introduced under the MADANI Government, BDI reflects a ‘whole-of-nation’ digital transformation approach to empower businesses across all states, including Sarawak, with the necessary tools, expertise and support to succeed in the fast growing national digital economy. The initiative is delivered in collaboration with the Sarawak Digital Economy Corporation (SDEC) and the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, Industrial Terminal and Entrepreneur Development (MINTRED) Sarawak.

Deputy Minister of Digital, YB Datuk Wilson Ugak Anak Kumbong, highlighted the significance of this effort.

“The Ministry of Digital remains committed to supporting every corner of the nation in this digital journey. Sarawak’s MSMEs play a crucial role in driving regional economic growth. By embracing digitalisation and e-Invoicing, they are positioning themselves for greater efficiency, transparency, and global competitiveness. This initiative is a testament to our shared vision of building an inclusive and future-ready digital economy,” he said.

“Sarawak’s leadership in renewable energy, combined with its digital ambition, creates a unique platform for innovation,” added Wilson. “We are committed to working hand-in-hand with the state to realise this vision and as a long-term partner.”

“With Sarawak’s Digital Economy Blueprint 2030 in full motion, the collaboration between the ministry – including its agencies like MDEC – and the state is expected to intensify in the weeks and months ahead for the greater good of the state, its MSME community and the people of Sarawak.”

Meanwhile, MDEC Chief Executive Officer, Anuar Fariz Fadzil emphasised the importance of strong federal-state collaboration in supporting local businesses.

“Sarawak is a vital part of Malaysia’s digital future, and we are committed to the pursuit of state-level transformation, fostering local innovation and create long-term, sustainable economic opportunities,” said Anuar.

After a long commute and going around Kyoto, it’s time to check into our hotel first at Hotel Keihan Kyoto Hachijoguchi. However, since we arrived early, we couldn’t go into our rooms yet. We left our luggage at the hotel. Then, we went for lunch and visited some tourist attractions.

Lunch at AEON Mall Kyoto

First stop was AEON Mall (1 Nishikujo Toriiguchicho, Minami Ward, Kyoto, 601-8417, Japan). We didn’t visit the mall. We just went there to recharge for a bit after a very long commute. Seriously! I was so tired. I felt like the surroundings were having tremors. It was me! -.-” Anyway, we went there for lunch and to use the toilet before heading to Gion (祇園), Kyoto’s most famous geisha district.

Just Walked Around Gion (祇園)

We took a bus to Gion. It’s my first time going on a public bus in Japan hehehe… When we arrived Gion, we’re greeted with so many human beings! HAHAHAHAH! It’s peak hour for the tourists to come out to play. If you don’t want to be in the crowd, do come here early in the morning.

That’s the end of day 1 in Kyoto. Flat from all the commuting…
