After a couple hours of gaming, cleaning and what not, it was time to check out and head to the next location on our trip: Kyoto. We got our JR passes and booked reserved seats for the Hikari Shinkansen. Hikari had more stops than the Nozomi, yet it was only a tad longer than Nozomi.
Once we arrived at Kyoto station, we took a subway to our hotel. It was relatively easy to check in, with a key given to us instead of a card key. It reminded me of the hotel in Nara we stayed at last year.
After settling in, we went for lunch at a family restaurant. I had a raw tuna rice bowl with a side of cold udon (I swear... Japan is carbohydrate heaven). After lunch, we proceeded down Shijo street and into Daimaru department store to look for a particular store. I bought somethings that I needed for my journey.
After the department store, we ventured into a store called Tokyo Hands. The easiest way to describe this store is a discovery hut, Home Outfitters and a stationary store mixed in one! We spent quite. A bit of time here to shop.
At around 6-7, we headed to Taramachi street to explore. It was late, so many business were closed. We ate dinner at a restaurant that seemingly specialized omelette rice. I never had one before, so I was glad to finally give it a try. It was pretty good, but bigger than I expected.
After dinner, it was off to see an old temple.
And that was pretty much it for today. Time to sleep!
