The Travelist

We didn't realize before we arrived exactly how much there was to see in Kyoto, which is why we decided to stay our last night here rather than heading back to Tokyo (PS, our hotel is pretty phat, so it made the decision easy). Since we left the big city, we've hit up the Yokohama Ramen Museum (it's everything it's cracked up to be and more), and visited Yokosuka, Nino's hometown (which is full of sparkling surprises in little red boxes). We've seen Kiomizudera and Kinkakuji temples, as well as the International Manga Museum, but stay tuned for more pics of a sampling of Kyoto's hundreds of shrines and temples. But for now, check out a few images of our first day in Kyoto when you read more.
