Arrival in Kyoto

Before arriving in Kyoto, I was somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer number of sites listed on the Lonely Planet, as well as the effort it would take to cover the distance between them. Fortunately, our ryokan in Kyoto provided resources to help us whittle down our list and make our way between them.

After leaving Omihachiman, we made our way to Kyoto via the local train. It took about 40 minutes to get to Kyoto station. Exiting the station, it took about 15 minutes walk in the rain to get to Ryokan Shimizu, our accommodation for the next three nights. After checking in, we found a cheat sheet on the information stand detailing several suggested itineraries for sightseeing and how to get between them. That made things a whole lot easier for us. We took it easy that afternoon, dined at a vegetarian restaurant nearby, and then called it a night.
