Kurama Onsen! Couldn't take photos from the Spring it self but the view was Magnificent!

Up the Steps to Kurama Onsen

Had to take a mini bus up the mountains to get to the Onsen, but got to see the Traditional looking houses on the way up.

If this is someone's residence, I think it's a little over sized!

Getting some fresh air ;]

Next stop, Kiyomizu Temple. Took us awhile to get up yet another mountain, but wait till you see the view!

Some tourist dressed up in Kimonos. Not sure if you would call it the same thing for guys? Mmm

Kiyomizu Temple! 

Exploring the streets below the temple. This is probably my favorite stretch of houses along the streets.

Final Day - Kyoto

It's our final day in Kyoto and also by far  my Favorite one! We started off the day with a visit to the Kurama Onsen about an hours travel from Kyoto station, and took a bus up the mountain with roads wide enough to fit half a car to finally get to the Onsen.

The view was breathtaking and I wished I had the tolerance to stay in the hot spring for more than 40 minutes (didn't do too well with the heat). After getting out, I realized that the showers were outdoors (Separate from the girls of course) and we had to use little buckets to shower ourselves with. Not sure if that was the most pleasant experience but definitely an interesting one!

Next stop was Kiyomizu Temple. I was really impressed the whole way through from the walk up the streets filled with traditional houses to the temple itself. This is a must visit place if you happen to be in Kyoto!

Osaka Pictures next :)
