Japan part two.

It's taken a little while to go back through the images and put them together, I don't want to remember the trip because then I will relise how wonderful it would be to go back.  One day.  This is a little bit picture heavy, but holiday posts always are.  There is always so much to show and tell...


Views from hotel rooms and Noodles for dinner.

The spectacle that is Disney Land.  Nice to meet you Walt.

Japanese Disney Land celebrations.  So many colours and happy children.  Towards the end of the day loud noises.  A little boy caused a pigeon to fly into me.  It was at this point that Disney Land started to lose it's appeal.


Crowds out the front of temples.

Views from temples.  So lovely.

Little painted signs.

Strange large advertisements in Shibuya.

View from the Contemporary Gallery in Kyoto.  I saw a strange exhibition at the building across the road because I didn't understand.


Temples in Kyoto.  I will remember the names one day.  

Peaceful raked gardens.

Arashiyama, bamboo grove.  Magical light.  Walking underneath umbrella's looking like Totoro.  Hiding from the rain.

Late night walkings down alleyways.  Getting a little bit lost and a little bit worried.  But finding our way back home safely.

Kinkaku-ji temple.  Made of gold.  Sparkling despite the murky weather.

A little addiction to Matcha Green Tea Latte's that I picked up along our journey.


So many more little things.  Looking at these I think maybe it is okay to remember.  I will go back one day.  It will be lovely, and I know where to visit again now, so many more little streets and secrets to wander and find.  Coming home is strange.
