Kyoto Trip, JAN 2011

It was very quiet morning. Pour raining just stopped few minutes ago. I can't hear not only traffic sounds but also foot steps. It was 2nd morning that my Japan trip in Kyoto. I got up quite early to hurry to go to Kyoto. My hotel was in Osaka and It took an hour to Kyoto by the train. When I made first step on Arashiyama(Kyoto), I thought it would be very crowded there but I can't hardly see people. I assumed that's because I got there so early. In spite of it was winter day, I didn't feel it was cold. It was extremely nice day to go around somewhere. Beside, I could smell fragrance of nature. Kyoto has a lot of nice places to go and you can go easily with bus. The Kyoto bus system is really comfortable to go a lot of places. If you have a day free bus ticket, you can go easily all spot with buses. My best spot in Kyoto was Kinkakuji(金閣寺-금각사). It was so gorgeous temple that was the building with gold skin. It was totally beautiful. (You can see the top of the picture.)  There were so many place to have good foods. I can remember a dinner in Kyoto that was curry rice with raw egg. It was very famous menu and I ate whole thing. It was really good. During the trip in Kyoto, I was happy. I felt fine. Because people was really kind. When I was lost my way, people guided me to place that I want to go. I think that I never forget my first trip alone in Kyoto.
