Kyoto, Japan
Make your way along the cobblestoned streets of Gion and past the Tatsumi Bridge, which looks straight out of a Japanese film set. Ramen Muraji is easy to miss – just that telltale white cloth out front – but there’s a reason locals queue for this charming upstairs machiya. Handmade noodles. Unctuous chicken stock. Delightful staff. Just another magic day in Kyoto.
