Today we went to the Imperial Palace, Kinkakuji Temple(which is the beautiful golden temple), and Kiyomizudera temple with the beautiful views of the mountain. We also went to the Maiko museum, which we got to visit the peaceful gardens and take a photo with a Geshia.
Tomorrow on to the next town, talk then!

Today was so much fun we went to Arashiyama to the Monkey Park on the top of a mountain, the Bamboo Grove, we hiked the trails up the mountains, and visited the TenryujI Temple which is one of the world heritage sites of the world. The founding place of Zen Buddhism. We Also Took a "Romantic Train ride" through the Mountain. Ended the day with a Koren dinner.
It's very safe here I was able to roam the streets at night and there was still grannies riding bikes and women walking around.
One more day in beautiful Kyoto and then we are off to Nagoya for some baseball and sumo wrestling.
Bye for now,

Good Morning Japan!
This is my first blog ever! Very exciting for me. I am in Japan with my boyfriend Mark and his Sister Tiffany. This is my second time here and it is just as beautiful and spiritual as I remember. We are just getting ready to go out on our second day of travel in Kyoto. We went on a self-guided walking tour in south Higashiyama. I have to go but I will be back tonight with more updates and photos.
Thanks for reading and happy traveling!
