Time for Two - Nara Koen, Todaiji, lantern temple
Am 28.12. then we went to Nara for a day. I can only recommend, as the almost 1 hour ride from Kyoto to Nara is really feasible and certainly can handle in one day. yes everything is located on the famous sights in Nara Park, which is known for its free-running deer, are considered sacred.
So we are at first somewhat run through the park, roughly in the direction of Todaiji, where the largest Buddha statue in Japan is. On the way, at least we were not, of course drumrum, to feed the famous Nararehe and make the obligatory photos.
The Todaiji then was really impressive. Even if you've already seen many temples and shrines, the Todaiji is again a completely different caliber. It also said David, who was slowly fed up with the cultural program and would have preferred the Manga Museum in Kyoto to Nara instead. In the end he was glad to have yet seen Nara, that is not called the cradle of culture of Japan. The Todaiji
any case is a temple complex, whose main hall is truly gigantic. 50 m high, the building, making it the largest built of wood in the world. The Buddha statue is itself "only" 17 m tall, but there are also various statues Daeva (Japanese demons) in the building and models of how the temple looked like before. So a clever mix of museum and temple. The main attraction for us, however, was the small hole in one of the supporting piles near the exit. The guide told us that whoever there by crawling, find enlightenment. Now we both were doubtful of the little hole through which Japanese children crawling and definitely not for European body was. (Whether the stupid foreigners enlightenment not begrudge;? P) I did not scare me at any rate and was an attraction, but I am very inelegant squeezed through the opening. David let me do and supported me by all documented:
After Todaiji we were walking around even more, went first to the Nara National Museum (which, in comparison to Tokyo then quite was disappointing ...) and then came to the northern temple, the road was already packed with thousands of lanterns. The name of the temple, I have unfortunately forgotten, but he was not so extraordinary. The lanterns were definitely the best part! ^ ^
However, we were so tired from all the running around that we just decided to back the rickshaw to the train station took. This was also the gold right decision for us was brewing over a violent thunderstorm, which we narrowly escaped.
We arrived back at least dry in Kyoto, picked up our luggage and went after a good supper again after the night bus home. The next day we spent with recovery to be fit for New Year!

Time for Two - Kinkakuji, Gion, Kyomizudera
Am 26.12. early slept through the morning we arrived quite in Kyoto and treated ourselves to a hearty breakfast first with a lot of coffee before we made our way to our hotel.
I take this opportunity to Sachi, my host sister, again much to thank. She has organized the trip in Kyoto reason for us by night bus or hotel, to the handing over of an emergency number where they or their parents are always available. Even if they read this never / will understand, I'm her and her parents but extremely grateful!
The hotel was conveniently located right on the main train station and we are already wondering why we are such a cheap room had been available in such an expensive-looking hotel. (Later that night we realized that the room was located right outside the elevator door with a very very thin ...) Glad to get rid of at least schonmal our luggage, and check if we have not could, we went without another break jump to Kinkakuji. Of course, one of the pearls of Kyoto and highly recommended, even if you want a leisurely walk in a Japanese garden. Then it went
then Gion, in the historic district of Kyoto and a little shopping. (We actually all the time looking for a jacket for David, but except for a scarf for him it was more things for me ... But I see in miniskirt determined from it better than he ... , P) And because we were very tired at 3 clock but then, it was still on the second in a loud and flashing Game Center staying awake. Nevertheless, we were about 18 clock so tired that we decided to drive to the hotel. After a hot shower in the spacious bathroom, we would then have to actually fall into bed dead, were it not for this nagging hunger have been ... Too tired to me again to move to where to go, then David had to get the dazzling idea to some of McDoof and moved to pity even the Japanese Employees to explain in English what he wanted. He has also managed a RiesenMcDoffTüte unnoticed at the star hotel reception to smuggle over, with a übergwordenen coat. ^ ^
As we were raised on the following morning from the dead, it was almost noon, which was slightly annoying, but not to change. We started then on the way to Gyon Kyomizudera. This is highly recommended! There is also a bus station in front of the temple complex, but the way of Gion made worthwhile. It is by narrow, historic streets and submerged again surprisingly, a larger or smaller temples, and one or the other pagoda.
Of course, this procedure is very time consuming because we are still here and there remains and so it was already dark when we arrived then at Kyomizudera.
Back to the hotel we went back by bus and we asked for a Kaiten Sushi (Sushi on moving the tapes) in the area, because of course David wanted to taste like the Japanese Sushi and Sushi Roll Band bekanntermaß s are much cheaper than the traditional wound in which the sushi master to order.
As Julie in her blog already so aptly said, one can find the photos 1 to 1 on the Internet thousands of times, but even to have been there again is something completely different ...
