We were leaving Tokyo with mixed emotions. Don’t get me wrong, we were obviously excited for the rest of our Japan trip, but could it get any better than Tokyo? Would it even be nearly as good (especially the food)? We arrived at Tokyo station about to board the infamous bullet train to Kyoto. The bullet train was a great experience, once it arrived at Tokyo a load of workers, probably 4 people per carriage, all rushed to have it immaculate and the chairs all spun to face the other direction. The journey felt quite luxurious actually, there was plenty of leg room (great for me), the chairs reclined, a food cart went round frequently, and the train was going so fast you barely felt a single bump.
If you haven’t heard of Kyoto, it is quite frequently said to be people’s favourite place in Japan; but when people ask us what there is there we had quite little knowledge other than there is a tonne of temples.
