Japan
Arriving in Kyoto

We landed in Osaka and after receiving the suitcases we went to the bus and drove to Kyoto. It looked like the whole area were one town and I could not see when we left one part and entered the next. There were lots of buildings along the road, but not many special ones. We saw a few towards the end of the trip. In the afternoon we went to the impressiv Kyoto railwaystation to get to the downtown area and have a look at that part, where it definately were easy to find somthing interesting to buy. To walk in the street with a lot of small resturants were nice, and we saw a few geisha's tripping away.
