So after we came back to Kyoto, we quickly dropped our bags off and signed in at The Westin Miyako before heading out to downtown Kyoto. Unforunatly, because our tour during the day ran rather long, we came back at around 7:00, which only gave us a couple of hours to do some shopping in Kyoto. That’s the one bad thing about tour groups. While you are able to see and go to various places that would otherwise be rather difficult on your own, more then half the time is spent traveling. While walking around Kyoto, one of my favorite sites is pictured to the right, the stream. In almost every anime/j-drama, it seems like they always show a scene near such streams and while there are some in Tokyo, this was the first time actually seeing it. Next time we visit Japan, I would like to stay in Kyoto for a couple of days and just explore, like we did with Tokyo.
This was Boosan’s favorite store in Kyoto. Did we ever take home a lot from here!
