Kyoto

ohaiyo

Having a great time in Japan. We visited mountains near Tokyo called Hakone. Its a tourist mecca for Japanese, but was fairly quiet when we were there due to the unrelenting torrential rain. Turns out June is the wet season here. As you can imagine, a little bit of torrential rain did not stop us going hiking to see the volcanic gas vents that are around that area.

We are currently in Kyoto where there are temples everywhere. Temples do not get in the way of shopping malls however, they just build around them.

The Japanese have an electronic solution for everything. The toilet seats are something to behold, they warm up for you, wash your bottom, and even play running water sounds to help you along. You can also get almost anything in vending machines (see pic).
