We boarded the Shinkansen and made our way to Kyoto. Our first day was rainy, so we went to the movies and watched The Mandalorian in English with Japanese subtitles. Later, we explored the Nishiki Market and enjoyed dinner at a traditional Japanese restaurant.
With a little bit of sunshine, we went on a bike ride along the Kamo River, passing through the grounds of the Imperial Palace and continuing on to the botanical gardens. Along the way, we stopped for some amazing gelato at Yuwado, delicious!
