We spent 3 great days in Kyoto. Such a different city to Tokyo. Checked out the temples and more autumn leaves at the bottom of both the Eastern and Western mountains surrounding Kyoto. Our first day of sightseeing was a bit of a rainy one but it was still great to check out all the temples in our rain jackets and made the hot beverages from vending machines more enjoyable. We were in Kyoto over a Japanese long weekend so everywhere we went was quite busy. On our first night we had dinner in a very small local restaurant that was showing the sumo wrestling final - Pete was hooked on sumo wrestling so it was a great experience.
Some pics here but more to come.
