Day 5: Shūgakuryokō

Shugakuryokou: The only way I can describe today at Kyoto. It seems as if all high schools in Osaka decided to have a school trip to Kyoto. Kyoto is surprising close to Osaka (In fact, it's a 30 minute hop via JR Kyoto line from Osaka station). The first thing we did when we arrived? Buy a day-pass for the bus pass for the local bus system. If one ride is 220yen, a bus pass is 500yen, you can quickly break even in 3 rides.

The first place we went: 清水寺. Kind of the staple of anyone going to Kyoto.

On our way up to the love temple...

Really, Kyoto is old.
We then went to Gion, another shrine. Not much photos of there!


Shaved ice for 190 yen!
 The final place is Ginkaguji, an amazingly beautiful place for 500 yen. Below this is photos I've took, just fyi: They are not edited... I'm sure they'll look better when I go home and edit the RAWs.












The KMB needs something like this, and preferably animated
Tomorrow, we will be going to Universal Studios Japan. I will think my wallet will break tomorrow. I also need to mend my camera viewfinder...
