The Day we went to the ancient capital
... path again and finally arrived at Heian. NO TOURISTS. I breathe a sigh of relieve. We're the only ones there, so we sit down on one of the rocks covered in shadows and basically stare at the monument in front of us. It is huge. The courtyard is massive, probably the size of a soccer field.
