Greetings from rainy Kyoto! I have returned to Kansai for another little holiday. I had a much happier time getting here because this time I took the shinkansen! I didn't take the fastest one (although I want to try that one someday), but even the slower one got me here super fast. Three and a bit hours (compared to about 8 on the night bus). MAGICAL. It was super comfortable too! And I could see lots of scenery!Tokyo's weather was lovely this morning, but it was raining when I got to Kyoto. I didn't really mind - I went to Gion before I checked into my hostel, and it lent the area a nice atmosphere - but then my umbrella broke. I didn't get too wet, as it wasn't raining that hard, but it was still annoying.
Tomorrow I will probably go to Osaka to enjoy takoyaki and other assorted delights (not just shopping like last time I was there).
Enjoy pictures of my legs and all the space they had, a little bit of the train, and some random scenery along the way.
