Japan Trip 2011 - Day 3 - Bullet Train and Kyoto
Day 3 i utilized my JR Pass and poped on the awesome Shinkanzen / bullet train and visited Kyoto for a couple of days.
First day after arriving at the massive Kyoto Station which is like a miniature city inside, seeing Kyoto Tower and putting my stuff in the coin lockers i visited Arashiyama Disitrict.
Straight from the super clean station i walked to Togetsukyō bridge over the Katsura River, then walked through Bamboo woods, visited lots of shrines and temple and then like nearly everyday i was in Japan got lost, which is actually quite enjoyable, getting off the tourist trail and seeing suburban Kyoto.
Lots of photos from my time in Kyoto are straight out of an anime, 3 in this batch are a direct copy of whats on screen.

Beautiful!
How i would describe the place, both the old, new and nature just seem to merge perfectly.
The streets are really clean and the surrounding reflects a culture.
