Kyoto











Left Shanghai in style on the maglev to the airport at 250 miles per hour. Arrived safely in Kyoto. We wanted real traditional and we got it. The ryocan (hotel) is 150 years old and its like a maze going up and down with little gardens around every other bend. We feel like we're in a Japanese doll house. Dinner was...different. We had snails, whole little fish, tempura, miso soup, sushi, and a lot of stuff we didn't recognize. It might have been strange but the service and appearance was beautiful and apparently authentic.
