On this day, we explored buddhism and shinto, looking at different temples and shrines with our wonderful tour guide Andrew. He explained what the zen gardens meant, the origins of gardens, and showed us great food spots. It was a fun and knowledgeable day. We got conveyer belt sushi and went bowling after.

On one of our first days in Kyoto, we visited 2 of Kyoto’s biggest shrines, Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, and Kiyomizu-Dera Temple, and the areas around them.
