Kyoto

The trip from Kyoto to Nara is quick – a bit more than hour on the train.

Kyoto is an amazing place. Beautiful scenery. Temples and shrines everywhere.

You can pay someone to dress you as a Geisha so we saw a lot of Japanese tourist women mincing around in kimonos, white make-up and those strange wooden flip-flops. (Second photo)

We stayed at another ryokan. Nice, but not as charming as the place in Nara. Our dinner included “cod milt.” (It’s better not to ask.)
