Last weekend for a day trip, Yurina and I met up with her friend Kana again, this time in Kyoto. To save a little money, we took the slow train there, which was rather interesting from a landscape perspective. The Japanese environment triad of mountains, flat rice fields and double storied houses is in complete contrast to Australia.
We visited Kinkakuji (the golden pavillion) which was cool, but I thought the gardens at Ginkakuji were better.
I think we had a 500 yen per person day bus pass, so we travelled in the comfort of buses while eating tim tams 
Lastly we went to Kiramizudera (clear water place thingy), and this time I actually went there and drank the water, and not just pass the gates!
