I went to the best temple in Kyoto, the Kinkaku-ji Temple. It’s my favorite temple I’ve visited so far. I also went to see Daitoku-ji Temple and Kyoto Imperial Palace. I felt temple’d out after seeing so many temples and shrines in the past few days.

The subway is so clean in Japan and the train is always on time.

This sidewalk also allows for bicycles.

There were so many people here, but my photos don’t include them.

After visiting Kinkaku-ji Temple, I was so hot. This is ice cream in a plastic tube.

Next stop: Daitoku-ji Temple

There are so many temples in Daitoku-ji, some of them are not open to the public. This one is though.
