Day 5 – Easy day

We spent today taking it easy. We slept in after such a busy day yesterday.

After a fantastic Ramen Breakfast/Lunch at Zundou-ya we made our way to Tokyo Station to find out all about the Bullet train we’re taking to Kyoto tomorrow. The friendly boy at the ticket office explained everything to us and we bought the tickets on the spot.

We walked around the lovely old building of Tokyo Station.

We went back to Shibuya and Harajuku to buy some souvenirs and somethings for the folks back home.

 

Day 6 – Off to to Kyoto

Today is an exciting day for me. Another bucket list item crossed off. We’re taking the Shinkansen (bullet train) to Kyoto. We were lucky enough to get the Nozomi, the fastest train.

We caught a taxi to our Hotel, Monterey Kyoto.

After checking in and unpacking we ventured out to explore the area. We came across the Nishiki Market. After a while we had to come back to the hotel, it was just so cold.

We rugged up and went out to find a quick bite for dinner. Then home for a nice shower – the first decent shower for a few days. I’ll talk about our Tokyo AirBnB in another post.

Tomorrow we have a Kyoto tour planned,
