On our second day in Kyoto, we first went to Kiyomizu-dera temple. The temple is located on a hill, so the walk is a bit up slope, and along the way there are shops around, selling spring time delicacies like Mochi pastries.

Japan Golden Week - Kyoto 1/2
02-May-2013
On our 5th day, we departed Shizuoka at 10pm, and during the 8-9 hours on the road we slept (or pretended to sleep) throughout the trip, with regular toilet break every 2 hours. I would really commend our organizer Mochan, for a great sacrifice of driving us safely to Kyoto. Traveling to Kyoto from Shizuoka via mini bus has been the toughest road trip throughout our journey.
