In Osaka we walked around a bit in リンクタウン link town, which is pretty much the part that connects Kansai International Airport with the rest of Osaka. Talked a bit with some locals about where a good curry restaurant was. Curry restaurant was very small very cute.

The next day we had a private bus with which we drove to Kanazawa.

Sorry for the big filesizes :sob:


Last weekend i have been to Kyoto. I went there by train, not the shinkansen, but the thunderbird. The train ride took about 2 hours 10 minutes.
//i.fii.moe/rKkCrD8VQoO2aYlHJbPinflmVsmhK6Zr

saw a funny dinosaur at 福井駅 fukui station
//i.fii.moe/RWuqSoJU_6whtvAdw6edrsKpMdCyTso3

Sadly when I arrived in Kyoto the weather was kinda pretty not so nice
//i.fii.moe/GJjDfJYJ1zdiep58RMNgiP0lch2VkD8X

The view from the hotel was pretty good
//i.fii.moe/XlLptHx6YF39niUAeGuFZsTARYeBcwac

During the first day just general walking around has occurred and did not take any pictures outside of this one. I just wanted to take it in without looking at my phone.
//i.fii.moe/wEj1cc2ISWqCsmLdBNoTHXcQFLIbjYqV

The next day was full of the big touristic spots. Woke up at 6:00 to go to 嵐山 arashiyama the famous bamboo forest grove. It was really beautiful to see especially in the rain. Kinda wish i also got to see it at night, but that is ok, there is always next time.

//i.fii.moe/6DYrqoRrMHP3RmNwynHL5Y2Ba45fzSHC

Had breakfast at ガスト gust(?)


After that i went to Kiyomizudera the other funny anime temple that has to be visited in every slice of life.
//i.fii.moe/zarikZyfn8t2_4bFHDW1gkTLci7ibRjF
All of China was there too!

//i.fii.moe/tPE_ZS_UM7PvfeRoFnei4DTDdXll0OCw

Walking back down again going through a sidestreet i found this.

//i.fii.moe/owMXauY6yr0NzjIXMFeFaM1XP7zaKSwm


After this it was time for the famous Fushimi Inari Taisha, the shrine with the 1000 gates.
//i.fii.moe/HOwkq9rU52V3W9swF_6DfX5OuxexW8yq
The first one
//i.fii.moe/CTFrZTeGrJCsS9iLRkhOxzp9PNdNLMRG
//i.fii.moe/2y_CnjNDirFeNdX22xsmpByf7LziAUwC


Also managed to be in time to visit the Kyoto Imperial Palace
The space is very big.
//i.fii.moe/rynKYiLbKsasdlK-4QxqBLp5OX0nV_ih

I turned chinese.

The next day the destination was Nara. It was a very hot day with pretty much no clouds at all (at least in Nara)
//i.fii.moe/snxCob8Mw76A3KMtGRk7ThCmD9QFM4SQ

After having seen the deer Toudaiji had to be visited. In this temple the biggest wooden statue ever exists. Pictures do not do the size any justice. The Buddha statue is around 16 meters (~52'6") tall.

A scale build on how the whole temple complex should have looked around the year 800
//i.fii.moe/Wy0t42oHf7PvAlyQShZvhoB9HcTfxxr4

After that we went to the Kasuga Taisha, where pictures were not allowed inside.
I only made this picture of the outside of the building.
//i.fii.moe/QqJb_jAfMp0f8igQsFcfWf_nBL3aFZxn

I bought a victory charm at the temple.
//i.fii.moe/3wCqVPkD4O3FQww1m2apP7XZ2_nREfCc

After the shrine walking back to Nara station occurred

Back in Kyoto the weather was very not good :crying:


The next day Nijo castle was visited before going back home to Kanazawa. Inside the main building pictures were not allowed but it was stunning and very authoritative 感じ was there.
//i.fii.moe/y0qIUoNqjJvBOJN_ZZeKZeg85QTF7J5F

While filling up time before the train back departed i strolled past the river in the city.
//i.fii.moe/QRRSmEUMOr7on4WO9mDyimDYU4AaWVtR

and later in the suburbs a small shrine and portal to Brazil were found
