Day 3 Kyoto

It's day 3 and we visited Nara! This was probably my favorite part of Kyoto, with Deers roaming the streets and Nara Park as you can see above.

As you roam the park, you can purchase wafer stacks for about a $1.50, and once you hold one of these, you will have Deers stalking you down for a bite. And to our surprise, the Deers were able to bow their heads as a way of asking for some wafers. Made my Day.

Above you will also see the Todaiji Temple with horns at the top which seems to represent the Deers? We were being stingy and took photos from the side rather than paying 5 bucks to visit the inside of the temple.

Day 2 Kyoto

Day 2 in Kyoto, Japan, and we decided to visit the Kinkakuji Temple or otherwise known as the Golden Pavilion. The top two levels of the temple is apparently coated with Pure Gold, and coupled with the beautiful landscapes surrounding it, makes it a popular attraction for tourists from all over the world, and a must see if you visited Kyoto!

Night came and we had dinner at the Ninja Kyoto Restaurant and labyrinth. Once again, if you are visiting Kyoto, this is definitely an interesting place to dine in (if you are into weird things). Once you enter, a ninja takes you through some secret passage, and you end up dining within one of the "Ninja Caves". Dinner is then accompanied by Magic shows from the "Master Ninja" involving sponges and bunnies.

Once dinner is over, you have the option of watching the Ninja Show/Performance which starts off relatively normal with Ninjas running around. Things then get really weird with Ninjas holding light sabers, fighting what looks like Evil Emperor Zurg from Toy Story 1. And if that wasn't weird enough, after fighting Emperor Zurg, the half naked Jedi Ninja then fights Giant Spider with torch-light eyes. VERY WEIRD INDEED.

Stay tune for day 3! 

Entrance to the Fushimi Inari Shine

Not too sure what these are for but I saw a guy drinking from it which I really don't think that's what the water is for. 

 The Famous passage way with words I can't read

 A passage up to the Mountains (didn't quite make it though)

Day 1 Kyoto

Day 1 of our visit to Kyoto, Japan, and we visited the Fushimi Inari Shrine! Have to admit that it looked better than I expected, but it was such a struggle to get a clean shot of the passage ways since it was so crowded when we visited. A great way to start off our 9 days in Japan. Will be uploading more pictures real soon so come back and visit!
