As much as I hate to admit it, I think we all found the train station even more interesting than the temples in Kyoto. But we eventually went out and decided to get a view of the city from the big candlestick of Kyoto Tower, which was just across the street and dominates the skyline. From here we could see the nearby Higashi Honganji temple, and we made that our next stop — after a short stop at Cafe Du Monde for begniets. It was a hot day, so after the temple, we went back to the room to cool off and spent the rest of the day around the train station. We even found a great conveyer sushi place for the grown-ups.
