(All images shot by me)
We arrived in Japan around midnight in Osaka, backpack clad and all. The next day we were Kyoto bound via bullet train, and yes it was lightning fast.
Kyoto is a pretty cherry blossom filled city, with an amazing train station that was crazy large. Tim and I took a bike tour and we saw beautiful temples, Maiko's and Geiko's (Geisha's) in Higashiyama. We rode around Gion and visited the Kyoto Imperial Palace. We took a train to Fushimi Inari Shrine to see the never ending Tori gates. And also walked down the Philosophers Path and Bamboo Forrest.
If you're a Nintendo fan we saw the head quarters for the original company, they started off by selling playing cards.
I'm kicking myself for not writing in my travel journal for both Japan and USA. I'm trying to remember a lot of what went down but everything seems like a distant memory. So in saying that, I hope my photos speak for my lack of words.
Stay tuned for Photo Diaries for Tokyo, Hiroshima, Osaka, New York and New Orleans.
