Kyoto is pretty spread out and the sights are all around the city so we chose to group things together so we could hit more than one without a lot of travel time. What’s great is that there is an extensive network of suburban rail (our equivalent of Metra) run by Japan Rail which means that we can use our Japan Rail pass to get around Kyoto.
We started off with the famous bamboo forest. It is a large area of bamboo that has been protected and has a path that runs right through the middle of it. Bamboo is such an amazing plant and it grows quite tall!
It rained for half the day today, which is the first time it was rained during the day since we’ve been here — pretty amazing really. It gave us the opportunity to take a few pictures holding umbrellas, which always turn out to be cute.
What is he plotting?
