Another hot snd sunny day in kyoto at 28 degrees
went to nanzenji temple but enroutre went into ten Juan temple with a beautiful garden.
nanzenji temple is large with some gardend and an aquaduct.
a women ( sounded like a north american accent approached me and asked if i coukd convert euros into yen (weird or what). I replied that i have no need for euros and she moved on)
walked to the heian jingu temple via the very large torii by the art museum
heian jingu is very impressive and would have explored the large gardens buti had a tour booked at the sento imperial palace ( japanese guide but audio guide in english. Tours were fully booked today.
the garden is beautiful.
Back to the hotel for a swim and went to kyoto station in the evening and walked the impressive skybridge
