Kyoto day 3: Kyoto Aquarium, Railway Museum, Nishiki Market

According to the weather forecast; it's going to be rain the whole day that day so we reserve that day to visit Kyoto Aquarium. Originally, we were going to the famous Osaka Aquarium but going there would take us at least two hours while this one only 10 minutes from our hotel by foot.

 This one we haven't seen before: Japanese and Chinese Salamanders. They are big!

We brought breads for  quick lunch in the aquarium then heading to the next stop:

Kyoto Railway Museum unfortunately it closed early so we just took a peek from outside and went to the store to get bullet train toys as memory from the trip.

Next place we visited: the famous Nishiki Market, which has so many delicious Japanese street snacks. There were BBQ eels, and squids,

tasty ice cream,

honey 

in different flavor, which we allowed to taste yum....

 and the best mochi in the world:

 After all those snacks we walked around the area and eat dinner at the Ippudo Ramen.

The ramen broth is lighter, which I prefer than Ichiran. I love the fact that they provide a basket under the chair, where we can place our bags and jacket. How thoughtful!

So that's a wrap for that day. Don't worry we didn't gain any weight from the trip because we have to walk a lot in Japan.
