Mame Diary

A stylish train operated by Kintetsu.
The journey from Kyoto Station to Kintetsu-Nara Station took 35 minutes.
I wished I could have stayed on board longer.

Although it was only for a short time at night, it snowed quite heavily, leaving the roads icy.

It is easy, using a three-strand braid.

It made me feel like the New Year.

Happy New Year.
Thank you for your continued support this year.

This is a breakfast that is difficult to reserve.
Freshly cooked rice from a clay pot is enjoyed together with obanzai dishes.
