Trip - Japan D11 - Tokyo National Museum

Good morning Blog,

I had a good cool night because it started to rain! I was so tired that I didn't want to snap any more pictures and showed our Airbnb because... It was a small department, made just for tourists - small toilet, minimum size for kitchen, no living room, narrow passage to rooms and a room big enough for a king-size bed to be shared...

Anyway, this morning was raining to make my Tokyo stay a bit gloomy.

What were we planning to do in Tokyo today? I guess shopping?

Trip - Japan D10 - To Tokyo

Hi Blog,

Our Japan trip was coming to an end sooner than expected, and I couldn't help but feel it was a bit rushed. Since none of us had visited Japan before, I didn't get a chance to provide input during our flight booking. However, I made the best of what we had and tried to accommodate everyone's interests in the group.

After our final packing at Airbnb, we decided to get some food from our food source for our next trip to Tokyo at midnight.

We understood that we might not be able to get decent food while travelling to Tokyo in the morning and lunch, so...

Trip - Japan D9 - Gion and Nishiki Market

Hi Blog,

The last stop in Kyoto, was to visit Gion from Kiyomizu and some markets since it is nearby. 

Time to walk again and I can sense the rest got rather tired.

Oooo, I also spotted quite a number of tourists dressed up in kimono, which tends to spice up the place culturally. I think I should get a set of such for my future event. While walking along Kyoto Street, it looks like a typical street in any developed country.

Trip - Japan D9 - Kiyomizu-dera 清水寺

Hi Blog,

After visiting a Kyoto temple and our next stop was something which I was looking forward to. I read somewhere that Kiyomizu is a must-visit spot and it is near Rengeō-in Temple, so I will not miss it.

But somehow we need to walk a distance of 1.6+km

Even though, some of my group members had already started to get jumpy. I can't be bothered and let them make their move to get there. Personally, I will walk to feel grounded than take anything; So some of them decided to hop on the bus to get there and it was understandable.

Trip - Japan D9 - Rengeō-in Temple 三十三間堂

Hi Blog,

Let's continue our exploration at Kyoto, the ninth day of our Taiwan-Japan trip. So where were we heading today?

Our friend's husband, he recommended that we should visit this temple as titled (too lazy to type it out 😂)

He claimed Kyoto has many temples and this one is iconic. I truly agree that Kyoto has many temples and hope I can visit them all in the future.
