Today was a glorious sunny day and once again we are all feeling more "normal" as we acclimatize to our new time zone. We met at KG and then went with today's staff host, MIho and trained to Nijo Castle. It was built in 1603 as the residence for Tokugawa Leysau, the first shogun of the Edo period. Students were excited to take their Grade 8 Humanities learnings and connect them as they toured the double moated castle and grounds. Interesting fact - the "nightingale floors" squeak when walked on to alert residents to intruders!
We then headed south to Kyoto station to have our Ramen lunch. Students selected from three restaurants and then selected their Ramen choice. There were about 25 Ramen places on the floor we visited!
Next off to Kyoto tower - standing 131 meters it is the tallest structure in Kyoto. We had sweeping views of the city and enjoyed better orienting ourselves.
our last stop of the day was the huge department Yodobashi! This place was unreal, with each department having amazing choice and selection of merchandise! Hope you enjoy today's shots!
