mean can't bring outside food and tripod? any sifu can translate, =x google translation is very confusing

Lastly, any idea hw much does it cost to take taxi from kyoto station to kinkajiku?

haha, for saving cost, i would like to try the kaiseki lunch instead.. hopefully around kiyomizudera temple (kikunoi, the cheapest is around 9k yen)

However, seem like it's too late for me to make reservation as going japan this weekend, and the reservation only can made via hotel, anyone has experience on this?

Start to miss Japan already, here's some of the photo i took during my visit to Japan during this april =)
