Day 9: Kanazawa - Higashi Chaya and Kenrokuen
... list but hopefully the Gion district in Kyoto will help us with that. Although pretty small, the district was very beautiful. The very old 2 story buildings that lined the streets were well preserved. I believe they were initially constructed as restaurants for geishas to entertain guests. Most have now turned into souvenir stores, cafes or restaurants but all still looked incredible. It started to really pour and we were done with exploring the district pretty early but ...

Last day in the Beautiful city
... the levels and layers however the ones we did were simple phenomenal! The trap doors, hidden staircases and every other feature made it a house that was nearly impossible to survive in if you were an enemy. After that we tried to walk back to the location where we were familiar but caught in the moment we were too busy stalking Japanese year 6 students we took the wrong turn and ended up ages away from the destination. Eventually we ended up at the motel ...
