According to the guide book, there are about 70 Geisha in Kyoto today. We saw 7!! They must be used to tourists snapping their pictures because when two of them passed me on the street and saw me snapping away with my camera, they both looked in my direction and gave me a demure smile.

























Niko and I purchased the JR pass which allowed us to travel on all trains except the fastest (Nozomi). We took the Shinkansen from Shin-Yokohama to Kyoto. I was mostly excited about the Ekiben we would be able to eat and maybe we went a bit overboard for that first trip. Niko discovered his drink of choice: Koiwai Yogurt drink. There was a monk waiting for the train too and I got a picture of his feet.




I should have more Japan pictures up soon.
