    Kyoto, more!

    March 16, 2016 in Japan ⋅ 🌙 10 °C

    Today I walked. And walked. About 9 hours of walking. It was worth it though; there is so much you miss if you only take transportation.
    Kyoto is a nice city, but totally different than I expected. There aren't really any tall buildings, and, maybe it's just me, it feels like a small city out even like a large town at times. Also, I find I feel like I could be in Canada here. It's a very good place to visit if you like shrines and temples; I think there are as many as there are convenience stores, and those are quite abundant. Eventually made my way back to Gion, and then to an area that I will look up the name of, where the streets are only lit by lanterns...and camera flashes. Not joking, like every tourist spot here there are always 2000 people taking crappy photos and selfies. I accidentally did too 😁. Only a little though.
    Oh, and I forgot to mention, there were some trees blossoming, and the one smelled amazing! I think I spent at least 10 minutes sniffing it!
