Trip Summary

Quite a bit jet-lagged, we still wished to make a nice walk through the narrow streets of Kyoto, picking Nishiki Market, north of the main train station of Kyoto, as our goal. On our way north, we also passed by the Higashi Hongan-ji Temple, but they were already closing their gates for the day. Walking along off-beat, narrow streets gave us some good and apparently authentic impression of Kyoto. Nishiki Market is then really impressive. Buzzling with people, numerous small shops offering food and other goods, even in the evening. Back, we then took a slighly more easterly route, adding to our Kyoto impression. A good start to some nice weeks in Japan! :-)
