Kyoto Tower, Kyoto

After about a week in Osaka, we headed to Kyoto on the bullet train. It was thrilling but I will leave that for another post. Guide books advise to go up to the Kyoto Station Building to see the sunset. We did just that and it was awesome.

Kyoto has both modern and old architecture, which you took beautifully! :-)
