Today I say goodbye to Hiroshima and make my way to another old capital city of Japan, Kyoto.
This trip is best done by Shinansen and for JR-pass holders that means 2 trains! First the Sakura to Shin-Kobe and from there a Hikari to Kyoto. With a total travel time just over 2 hours this isn’t that bad.
In Kyoto station they have this handy board stalled out showing the status of the leafs at the moment. So it looks like I’m a bit too early for the red views.
Anyways, after I arrived in Kyoto I needed to kill some time until I could check-in. So I just strolled around with my luggage in the nearest shopping mall. Checking out the boardgame and toys sections.
Eventually I also settled down for something to eat.
After check-in I sought my way to the Pokémon center, the local animate and the Yellow Submarine. Passing by a small anime shop and a second-hand shelve rental space filled with anime figures.
To get there I passed Nishiki market and became part of the Human soup that is flowing trough this shopping district that is food heaven for people that care.
That’s practically it, a lazy and easy going day.
Oh yeah dinner was some Chicken Katsu Kare, at a curry chain.
