and Gion and Pontocho
and Maruyamakoen.
We also lucked out and were able to see a couple of traditional Japanese weddings.
I had hoped to have time to go to Ryoanji, but there wasn't as I had thoroughly worn my family out in Tokyo. It was pretty cool to finally see Mt. Fuji, which I saw from the Shinkansen as we traveled from Tokyo to Kyoto.
At least I think it was Mt. Fuji. I came to Japan with a student trip last June and we went to Hakone to see Mt. Fuji, but there was so much fog that I could barely see my students standing a few feet away from me. One of my students did get a good picture of Mt. Fuji, though. It looked totally believable even though he had just taken a picture of his ticket. It was highly amusing.
