The trip to Tokyo included a quick trip over to Kyoto. The city was the capital of Japan for a very long time and is full of history. There were countless shrines throughout the city. It was all very beautiful.
In addition, we had the good luck to be in Kyoto during a big snowstorm. Some would argue this was in fact bad luck. And at the time I might have been a bit cold/miserable. But the shrines we saw were amazing in the snow.

Following our dinner in Kyoto, we immediately found an ice cream parlor that made nothing but HUGE ice cream sundaes. Mmmmm.
Our hotel room had no beds! Instead, we laid several futon mattresses out on the tatami-covered floor and all slept in a big pile. Here's Pedro and Kate trying to sleep in:
