I’ve got over 5,000 pictures/videos in my phone from our trip to Japan that I want to share. So, I’m breaking them out into one video for each day, plus other videos as shorter extras for the individual videos from our phones and GoPro. This is the eighth day. Hope you enjoy 😊
Packed up and left the bags at the hotel so we could visit Hodaiji before heading to the station. The shinkansen ride this day was even more scenic than the first one, although the train was a little more packed than before. After settling in at the hotel, which was an even bigger room, we had dinner at an izakaya. Then we wandered the streets and stumbled upon the Dior fashion show over at Toji Temple. We finished the night with ice cream from a konbini.
