Breakfast was incredible.
I miscalculated a bit on our travel today. I assumed that the Shinkansen Fuji station would be near to Fuji. It turns out it is an hour away.
We are now in a taxi taking what will be an expensive trip. It’s nicer than the bus but…
I am going to try to relax and enjoy the ride. We get to see Mt Fuji from every side.
Shinkansen
The train ride was delightful. It was so relaxing. The ride is so calm and quiet. It was cool in the car on a hot day. The seats recline way back. I had a beer. Owen brought a sandwich from the station. It was so pleasant watching the country go by that I actually wished it had lasted a little longer.
We were able to catch a bus easily and made it to our hotel just before check in. After checking in we did laundry mostly to dry out our clothes still moist from Fuji.
We are in Gion, the Geisha (Geiko) district. We are adjacent to the Yasaka Shire which is the heart of the Gion Matsuri Festival.
We enjoyed ramen in a tiny shop with a limited menu that I find charming.
Owen and I also each took a turn wandering the streets of Kyoto.
