Day 12

We took advantage of the excellent weather on our last day in Kyoto to do a bus tour around the city. Ever time we go somewhere here I am reminded of how many temples and shrines have been built here. And not just small ones - huge temples shrines can be found on nearly every city block! A tour guide told us that there are over 2,000 shrines and temples throughout the city!

Once the tour was completed, we headed to Kyoto Station to visit Don Quixote and do some souvenir shopping. I had nearly forgotten what an experience this store is, with literally an aisle for anything you can think of - merch, clothes, food, more. And, of course, plenty of sections specifically aimed at tourists, which we definitely took advantage of. I’m still surprised we managed to fit everything in our suitcases!Meer informatie
