Ishiyamadera Escape

Hello Friends,

Its August and because Kyoto is a melting pot, we decided to escape it and have a day out of town. We have been talking about it in the #meet-irl channel on our discord but the event publication here is on short notice and we understand that it might be difficult for you to join.

The plan is following:

1. 11:30 - We meet at Keihan Ishiyamadera station.
2. 12:00 - We have lunch at R’s Happy Bake. (We can take a reservation for people that RSVP)
3. After lunch we go to Ishiyama Temple and look at all the temples. (1100yen for the entrance fee, main hall and side temple, 600yen if you only wish to traverse the temple)
4. After the temple - we plan to visit an Onsen. We will decide together which to take, but possible options are:

• Old and small Yoki-yu Sento (490 yen) in the area, 9min (230yen) by bus or 30min on foot
• Biwako-za (60min 650yen) - 380 yen for transport, 40 min
• Super Sento Suishun (1050yen) - 470 yen for transport, 53min

After that we may or may not head out for dinner or back home.(depending how we feel)

Besides a towel and fresh underwear for the bath, please bring tech topics to talk about! If you have a special topic you are interested in, mention it in the comments so we maybe can prepare for it.
