Today (Monday) is Japan's Thanksgiving Day, a national holiday.
Everything official was closed but everyone was out to enjoy the scenery that Kyoto is famous for.
I went to a famous soba restaurant that has been around for about 300 years in the same location. Yummy but pricey...
After lunch, I took a stroll in the Eastern part of Kyoto in the big park and toured some temples.
And as soon as I left the temple, the skies opened up. Rain and rain and rain.
When I got back to J-Hoppers, there wasn't a lot to do because it was raining. Myself and two others wound up going to a Sento (public bath), grabbing dinner and ending the evening with shochu and beer at 0300.
That's not good because I have to get up early on Tuesday to visit the Kyoto Imperial Palace. Getting up early....brrrrrr.
