My wife and I watched this tonight. It was okay, but it would be better if it were shorter. At the same time, you need to watch until the end to get the full experience.

My wife and I use this when the weather gets cooler. Chicken or pork and potatoes, mushrooms, and carrots over rice. We use a lot more ingredients by volume than you'd find in a normal Japanese home or school cafeteria, though.

I've been to the Lafayette location several times. Vegetable portions are generally larger than dumpling portions, so it can be better to go with family or friends and order family style.

re: Rice versus potatoes: explain yourself
Posted by CrazyTigerFan on 8/30/26 at 5:16 pm to Tree_Fall
It all depends on the dishes being prepared, at least in my family. An oven roast is usually rice, a slow cooker pot roast is usually potatoes. Gumbo is always over rice, although you may put potato salad in or on the side. Something like poboys have potato salad or potato chips as a side. Baked chicken goes with roasted potatoes, but chicken stew is probably over rice. Etc.

Lest we forget, many people can't get plurals and possessives correct either.
Pro tip for third graders and above: In English, an apostrophe is never used to indicate a plural. Apostrophes are used with possessives or contractions.

What story/stories do you think are filler? If anything, they're overly speeding things up by cramming 4 or 5 episodes worth of content into a single episode. There's very little character development, and many character appearances feel like slap dash cameos, imo.

1) From Tennoji Station, take the JR Kansai Line to Nara Station (about 40 minutes, 510 yen). Pay attention near Oji Station... sometimes you have to change trains here!
2) At Nara Station, transfer to the JR Nara Line local train heading north to Inari Station (about 60 minutes, 680 yen). You could take the regional rapid train to Tofukuji and backtrack one station to Inari, but it doesn't really save time.
3) Walk from the station to Fushimi Inari Taisha and take the hike up to the temple through the thousands of torii gates. It's about 3 hours round trip, and it's free.
4) At Inari Station, head north on the JR Nara Line to Kyoto Station (5 minutes, 150 yen). Transfer to the subway Karasuma Line and head north to Kuramaguchi Station (11 minutes, 260 yen).
5) Walk west along Kurumaguchi Dori towards the Kinkaku Jinjya, the Golden Temple (about 40 minutes). Some of the views here are amazing, like being in a picture of Japan. There are places to eat along Nishioji Dori, right before you get to the temple. Or, pick up some food at the Lawson and backtrack on Kuramaguchi Dori and into the neighborhood and picnic under the cherry blossoms in Kamiya Park, with a view of one of the giant obon bonfire sites on the mountainside to the west. (Remeber to pick up all of your trash!)
6) Admission to the Golden Temple grounds is 500 yen. You can spend and hour or two here.
7) Walk back along Kuramaguchi Dori to Kuramaguchi Station and take the subway south to Kyoto Station. If you have time left, you can check out several different temples or shrines in the area. Sanjyusangendo Temple (with 1001 statues) is about a 20 minute walk to the east from the station and 600 yen admission. You could eat near here or back in Osaka.
8) From Kyoto Station, take the JR Osaka-Sanyo line to Osaka Station (about 28 minutes, 580 yen).
2) At Nara Station, transfer to the JR Nara Line local train heading north to Inari Station (about 60 minutes, 680 yen). You could take the regional rapid train to Tofukuji and backtrack one station to Inari, but it doesn't really save time.

quote:I lived in southern Osaka prefecture for a year, two stops from Osaka-Abenobashi / Tennoji stations on the Kintetsu Minamiosaka limited express train. You can get to Kyoto via several different train routes going to the north, but I went south then north through Nara.
Anyone ever stayed in Osaka and taken a day trip to Kyoto instead of staying in Kyoto?
Kyoto is one of the places with overtourism. I'd try and avoid the busses and use the train and walk, depending on where you're going. Use Google Maps, plan your routes and transfers ahead of time, and charge up your SUICA (or ICOCA if you buy a card in the Kansai area). Weather should be beautiful that time of year, and walking through neighborhoods shows you more of real life in Japan.
Here's a plan to go to two or three of the big tourist places in Kyoto by going south through Nara and getting to see the countryside:
