We took the bullet train to Kyoto. Went to a bento emporium in Tokyo Station called Ekibenya Matsuri. Had probably 50 different types to choose from. They even had one with a pull tab that heats up your food!
Fall Colours at Kiyomizudera
Akane and I spent a few hours at Kiyomizudera, one of Kyoto's more spectacular temples. This is also the first temple I visited when we came to Kyoto in 2002 a few months before Riku was born.
Even though it was a Monday, the temple was very crowded. These were taken with my camera phone, so they're not great (and I even brought our "real" camera but forgot that I had ...).
