Kyoto outskirts, first of 3 days...

So I only just got here and bee lined for the walkway along the river. The cherry blossoms are more evident here than in Tokyo but I want to see way more- lots of them- dense pink and white flowering trees everywhere please...let's see what the next 2 days bring me. Meantime, I'm exploring the area...I'm out of the main part of of the city, in Shogoin...very pretty but without the blossoms a bit whatever...

City Hall...

A Shrine...

Blossoming Sakura...

Over the bridge...

The ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) where I'm staying...

Send you tomorrow...

Kyoto is 3 hours from Tokyo on the bullet train (JR Pass)..
