After a few days in Tokyo the jetlag is wearing off. We took a Bullet train to Kyoto (Ned got upset because the scenery didn't blur enough!) and have walked straight into a Typhoon warning. It's due tomorrow morning and Kyoto is going to be the epicentre. Can't decide if it'll be scary or an adventure - either way Annie's banned me from going out.
Whereas Tokyo was a city in a familiar sense, Kyoto has retained much more of the traditional feel, with lots of women in kimono's and streets of old wooden houses. Walked around today and explored a few of the many Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples.
It's rained a fair bit, but is still warm and we've bought umbrellas each (very Japanese). Wi-fi is still hard to find (surprisingly) but I've managed to track one down to an Irish bar here.....
