Japan Day 6, Tokyo & Kyoto (Part 2 of 2)

This post is the seventh in a series of nine illustrating my trip to Japan and the second of two illustrating my sixth day in Japan (March 26th). After dropping off my bags, I headed out and went exploring. My ryokan was right next to the Sanjo-Keihan station by the center of the city, so I left and headed northeast.

Walking northeast, I eventually hit the Heian Jingu shrine.

All along the walk, cherry blossoms were beginning to bloom.

I know, I know… One complete meal at McDonalds was necessary. I had to see if the Big Mac was the same as the US version and yes, it was. No, it wasn’t very good anyway (I’m not a fan of McD’s). I did get to try a drink called Qoo, which ended up being the highlight of the meal.
