• Kyoto - day 5, last day

    April 19 in Japan ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    Out by 9 to catch the Romantic Train which goes up the Katsuura River. First stop was the largest model train layout in Japan. What a cool set up. So many things going on. Check out the accident scene. There are paramedics giving cpr. Actually pumping a figure's chest.
    We took the train up river. It's a very old train with wooden seats and a coal powered engine. The ride was beautiful. We rode the river rapids back. Really beautiful. We could only imagine what it was like a couple weeks ago with all the cherry blossoms.
    Lots of walking around the neighborhood and came back to get ready for dinner.
    Had an amazing chef's menu dinner at a restaurant near the house. Not sure how many courses but we were stuffed and with wine it was $72.
    Walked along the river and came home to pack.
    Love Kyoto. Off to tokyo tomorrow.
