elisabethparis Sad to say, but this lovely old town requires some support. en-US Fri, 18 May 2012 18:46:12 +0000 http://bbpress.org/?v=1.0.2 q http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/search.php http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/topic/home-stay-whats-best-jodoji-or-okazaki#post-158 Mon, 18 May 2009 06:57:02 +0000 ElisabethParis 158@http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/ <p>Many thanks for your reply.

The choice between Jodoji and Okazaki? Nice!! Both are not the most convenient places in Kyoto, I mean relatively speakings. They are both 10-15 minute by bicycle from the center of town. I lived in Okazaki for about 5 years. For shopping, especially for food, I would say that Okazaki is a *little* less convenient. Jodoji, being at the foot of the East Mountains (Higashiyama) is more historic, scenic and natural. And, there are two higher end super markets in the neighborhood. On the whole, my score would be Okazaki 7 and Jodoji 8. Not a big difference. I hope this helps. </p> http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/topic/home-stay-whats-best-jodoji-or-okazaki#post-150 Thu, 14 May 2009 15:12:34 +0000 ElisabethParis 150@http://openkyoto.com/kyoto-support/ <p>Hello, I am new on this wonderful site and about to rent a house either in Okazaki or Jodoji at the beginning of June. Both my husband and I love cooking and we are wondering which of the 2 areas would have the greater number of food stores, markets etc.<br /> We're really looking forward to our holidays in Kyoto and to our future gourmet treats.<br /> Thanks for your attention</p> <p>Elisabeth </p>
