Day 1 of Freehab

We woke up earlier then early to catch the shinconsen which is like a bullet train.

3 hours later, which would have been 8 by a car. We arrived at Kyoto (Japan's old capitail)

After that it was back to the local train for Nara!

Nara is so interesting and OLD. In some of the pictures the ancient artifacts are before 725 A.D. Nara is also famous for the wild friendly deer that you can feed.

Then we saw the biggest Budda in Japan. which was outstanding and beautiful, and none the least it started to snow!!!

This is the size of its nose

Then it was back to the train back to KYOTO for day #2 Kyoto maddness!!!!!!!!!

Where to Next????

Kyoto: Kyoto was Japan's capital and the emperor's residence through part of the First and most of the Second Millennia ( it is called "The Thousand Year Capital") and is the source of many aspects of the Japanese culture as we know it today. Kyoto, undamaged in World War II, contains the best-preserved examples of Japan's feudal history.

Narra: Once the capital of Japan, Nara is a beautiful place with splendid temples representing both Shinto and Buddhism. Nara is near both Kyoto and Osaka.

Osaka: Osaka is another of Japan's vibrant "big" cities: it combines its history and modern economy in a manner that is certain to please. And Universal Studios!

Tokyo Fish Market!

So I have never seen more fish in my life!!!!!!!!!! Big ones, fat ones, thin ones, nasty ones.

You have to wake up at 5A.M to see all the fish at the market because by Noon all of them are gone. The fish market in japan is one of the biggest in the world, It is huge!!!!!!!!!! The fish are massive and the market is super busy. But I have to say I have never had better sushi in my Life. Sushi for breakfast is Amazing!!!!!!!!
