Today we were heading to Kyoto, but since the weather was so good, we returned to Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park today to see the memorial cenotaph and a few other memorials we didn’t get to see during the rain yesterday.

Some of the millions of paper cranes at the Children’s Peace Monument.

Looking up along a street, that’s a lot of wires.

Another cool parking lot.

It was back on the bullet train to Kyoto.

We headed to the Kiyomizu-dera temple.

There were lots of people wearing Kimonos.

The streets were busy.

We found a Studio Ghibli store.

Gillian with her Totoro friends.

We had somen for lunch today.

Carp flags hanging outside of a school.

We made our way to Nanzen-ji temple.

It has a raised aqueduct that was built in 1890. It is part of the Lake Biwa Canal and it still supplies 97% of the city’s water.
