3-11Mar'12 1st Japan trip - Day 8~9 Kyoto sightseeing

[Day 8] 10 March 2012, Saturday: Kyoto

Training has ended and it's the weekend.
We extended our trip in order to have a short tour around Kyoto.
Travelling around Kyoto by bus has been made easy because of the wide bus network.
A one-day pass for one adult costs 500 yen.

 
We are first heading to Kinkakuji, the golden tower. Almost near.
 
Alight at this Kinkakuji bus-stop.
 
And follow the directions.





 
Entrance to Kinkakuji: 400 yen per pax.








 

















 On way to Kiyomizudera.



Shopping street before Kiyomizudera

 

Have some snacks before entering









 
Kiyomizudera entrance fee, 200 yen






















2nd round of Ichiran.

 
Seems like a riot going on.
 


Good night.
 
[Day 9] 11 March 2012, Sunday: Home

Time to go home. Flight was @11am, but it takes 1 hour 30 mins to get to the airport. I bought the 715am Haruka to Kansai. The trip is really too short to experience Japan. I will be back.
