Christmas Vacation, Japanese Edition: Sendai -> Kyoto

---

This week will be dedicated to our Christmas adventure, my cousin came to visit us in Sendai over the holidays. 
In the week he was here we got to travel to Kyoto, Tokyo and Osaka. 
Here are the photos: 

Kuba in front of our apartment.

Somewhere between Sendai and Tokyo.

Stop in Tokyo before heading to Kyoto. The train takes two hours from Sendai to Tokyo, then another 3 from Tokyo to Kyoto.

I was trying to take a picture of my tickets and the Japanese Rail Pass (which I highly recommend!) and some guy held it for me so I could get a good photo. So nice!

Mount Fuji from a distance.

No one said going to the bathroom in a bullet train was easy! Yikes, I will stick to the Western style toilets.

Kyoto train station.

Cute little Japanese school kids!

Signs by the Daitokuji Temple.

It was dark when we made it to the temple, bad planning on our part. Since we couldn't see anything we decided to stay overnight in Kyoto.

Nagomi guesthouse from the outside, it was a real authentic Kyoto experience! The house was over 80 years old and made out of wood, the walls were very thin and inside was a little dark.

Our traditional room at the guesthouse.
