Day 12 Kyoto: Temple, shrine and meditation

Ryan:

Last night me and Dayne ate with our Osaka host family, we had tempura, some chicken and various fruits.

Then in the morning we had to take a packed train by ourselves from Osaka to Kyoto which took about an hour and we have to switch trains a few times. Then we arrived in Kyoto checked into our hotel and went to Kiyomizu ("Clear Water") temple...






Then we took a train to go to another temple, which we meditated. If you requested, you were hit on the back with a long wooden paddle to keep your mind off the pain of keeping a straight back or keep from falling asleep.

After lunch we went to Inari temple with thousands of orange gates (torii) lining the path up Mount Inari.
