We took an organized tour today of Kyoto and Nara. Kyoto is known for the many hundreds (thousands?) of shrines, both Shinto and Buddhist. We saw three including the Shōgun's old palace. We then visited Nara where we were pleasantly surprised by the world's biggest wooden building, the Hall of Great Buddah, which included a huge statue of the Buddah (pics to come).
Our tour guide was this cute lady who was very knowledgeable about the places we visited. Instead of holding up a flag like all other normal tour guides, she held up a loofah on the end of an antenna.
