Sad to leave ...

Our last day in Kyoto greeted us with some rain. During the day the gentle shower which made everything twinkle turned in to a downpour at night with passing cars saturating us like in the movies.

A big day of local culture. We visited the Fushimi Inari-taisha shrine, thousands of orange gates winding through the forest, it was pretty special. At night we took in a traditional kabuki show- ornate costumes, a lot of very different music and a male lead playing the part of the leading female. The crowd clapped for every actors entrance and anytime something of note happened.. i.e. a lot.

Fushimi Inari-taisha shrine/ Trav's special seat at the kabuki show/ wet hair, pants, socks etc.
