Temples of Kyoto
Sophie and Will have now seen more temples than they want to see in a life time! We went on our last day tour today, which included Nijo Castle (Shogun residence), Kinkakuji Temple (Golden Temple) and Kyoto Imperial Palace. After lunch we went out to Todaiji Temple and Nara Deer Park. We heard the singing floor boards in Nijo Castle designed with a nail system as a 'burglar alarm' and saw an ice cream vending machine next to a hot drink vending machine. A mixture of old and new technologies near each other. An enjoyable day but we are also looking forward to our own travels tomorrow, on a local rail line out to a bamboo forest. |
