Between visiting Fushimi Inari Shrine in the morning, and viewing the Jidai Matsuri procession in the afternoon, I walked the parade route in reverse to scout a decent vantage spot for recording – and was on the hunt for some lunch, finding it in an amazing bakery cafe with the strangest of names.
After the procession, I walked back up to the Imperial Palace grounds again, as while the palace was shut to visitors, the park itself was fairly quiet, as the focus was on the Heian Jingu Shrine across town.
