One more Day Kyoto - then to Tokyo Day 9

The concierge at hotel told us we need to take bus to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, on a cliff. We got up early to beat the crowd and walk to it. Maki and I put on real street clothes. She even matched this building.



Beautiful before the crowds 

River through city named for goose 

Super cute like a  modern-looking Post Town 


Delicious cucumber in kelp juice on a stick 

Seems everywhere we go is uphill!




Crazy how this was built on a cliff - the saying in Japanese for when you make a big huge decision that takes a lot of courage, they say it is like jumping off the Kiyomizu stage. 



Done with temples - on to monkeys at Iwatayama 


Very brisk 20 minute uphill hike with lots of people 


Signs say don't make eye contact with them 

Look at the all monkeys in the cage ~ 

Mommy and baby - Happy Mothers Day 



This sign cracked me up = in subway station 

Back to Maki's parents, enjoying a delicious sushi dinner

HAHAHAHHAHA Ben!  "Enjoy junkfood life"

Abe's likes our hats
