Japan: Day 5- Kyoto Morning Tour & Arrival at Osaka

Of course, the day we're taking a somewhat-intense tour, the day is overcast.

I'll let you in on a spoiler slash downer- it was raining. All freakin' day.

But you must always press on.
Which is what we did. Kinkaku-ji was definitely not something to be missed, seeing as this was our last not-full day in Kyoto.

Japan: Day 4- Kyoto

Day 4 began by walking over to another (nearby) hotel in the hopes of tagging along with a tour. Turns out they were full that day, but we reserved seats for the following Morning Tour- as we had to get to Osaka!

We took the day in at our own pace- stopping by the post office* first and making our way to the bus stop.

Japan: Day 3 - Tokyo Tower & Arrival at Kyoto

We are only on day 3 and already the trip's beginning to take its toll on us. For my mother, it's understandable. Me? I have no excuse- I'm in my early/mid twenties with a bedtime of 9pm (okay, maybe that's exaggerating a little).

But there's not stopping us- thankfully the day turned out to be sunny!

Kyoto awaits us and so we trek up the hill leading to the Tokyo Tower.
