Kyoto to Nara

We got up and packed everything into the cases and the walked to the station. We caught the local train to Nara, which took about an hour.

Once in Nara we left the luggage at the information centre and went to the supermarket to get breakfast.

After breakfast we started walking through the streets, at one point we were in the Nara pride parade 🏳️‍🌈!

We left the parade and visited kofuku-ji temples. We then went to Yoshiki-en and Isui-en gardens. The second one was one of the best gardens visited so far.

After the gardens we continued uphill to Todai-ji where we visited the Buddha Hall before carrying on uphill to visit the other temples in the complex. For lunch we stopped at a soba restaurant, which was cheap and tasty.

We then walked through the gardens and back towards the station.

We collected our luggage and walked the short distance to our accommodation, a 2 bedroom house.

After we dropped the luggage off, we went to the supermarket for dinner and then did a lot of loads of laundry! 😂 Czytaj więcej
