Rised and shined at just past 7 am to catch our Shinkansen train to Kyoto. We had breakfast on the train. Sandwiches bought at Andersen bakery.

Arriving in Kyoto we took train and subway to the Keage station from where it was only 5 min to our ryokan Azuki-ya.

We left our bags there and went out looking at all the beautiful old buildings in Kyoto, including a few temples and shrines… Nanzen-ji, Heian-jingu, Chion-in, and Kiomizu-dera.

Back at the ryokan at 5 pm we checked in and got some green tea.

At 7:30 pm we went out for dinner. Just 100 meter away was Kiraku, a Okonomiyaki restaurant. Quite good and not too expensive.

Afterwards we walked around in Gion and across the river to watch the Kyoto “night life”. But we were exhausted after walking the whole day so we went back to the ryokan early, and went to ned.
