JAPAN -COUNTRY 53-A TRIP ON THE BULLET TRAIN and the BLOSSOM AT KIYOMIZUDERA TEMPLE

So exciting waiting for the Shinkansen (Bullet Train) to arrive!








Mr Sft on the train. Yes people wear those masks everywhere!







Treated to another beautiful view of Mount Fuji from the train.

Arriving at Kyoto Station. Beautiful architecture and the longest escalator I've ever seen!


 Beautiful Fans for sale.


KIYOMIZUDERA TEMPLE


Children visit the temple to celebrate the Cherry Blossom festival.










Mr Sft and beautiful Japanese ladies.

Would you like to take a ride on the bullet train?

  1. I would love it but would have to say would be on hubby's top of the list if we ever go to Japan. Those little girls are so cute!

    1. Hi CC
      Your hubby must be a train lover like me! I try and incorporate a train ride wherever I go if possible.
      Those girls were just so sweet.

    1. We were so lucky with the weather. We postponed our trip for a year to avoid going in Summer (my friend told us it is so hot when she visits her brother at that time) and we were delighted to get good weather and the cherry blossom celebrations. Just brilliant!
      It was hard not to take a gorgeous picture!
