A whole lotta Kyoto

I was going to spend only one day in Kyoto but Aika thought it would be better to spend three. And thus the legend of the "Three days in Kyoto" was born.

And lots of pictures were taken.


This was outside our hostel. Rub him, rub him for a safe journey.

They didn't have any real beggers in the old days of Japan. So they made these stone representations to throw spare change at.

Men wear hats to the bathroom in Japan.

A gold plated shrine. Those Japanese are so gaudy.



I kept a pamphlet with the names of all the shrines I visited. I'll find it eventually and tell you...in person...whoever you are.
