In Kyoto

---

Today we utilized our Japan Rail Passes and boarded a train to Kyoto, luckily catching sight of Mt. Fuji on the way.

Today we visited the Kyoto Tower and saw the entirety of the city while roasting alive. Seriously, everyone here is so tiny they ramp up the heat to meet the chill of December.

One thing that's really surprised me is just how much time you can spend in the rail station- there's so many shops and places to eat, you really could spend days in them. The architecture you see in the photos today are from the Kyoto station- just an incredible site to appreciate in and of itself.

It's been a busy day so it's lovely to turn in to a nice hotel room and relax.

Throughout the city
Kyoto if known for having over a thousand temples and pagodas. They are to be found everywhere and it's a very cool juxtaposition at times, like you see here.

7/11s are everywhere!
And they are filled with amazing food!
