It was rainy and chilly in the morning.
We visited Kyoto gosho (京都御所) the Kyoyo Imperial Palace first. When we got out of subway, it was fine. We were suposed to take an English guided tour but they did not have because they have the Special Exhibition Commemorating the 30th Anniversary of the Enthronement of His Majesty the Emperor. From 10 am we could watch Gagaku (Imperial Court Music and Dance). The buildings and Japanese gardens there were so beautiful.
After eating lunch at the Palace Hotel, we walked while and got a bus to Kinkakuji (金閣寺) Golden Pavilion Temple. When we got off the bus it started raining slightly, however when we entered inside, it became fine. I felt we were fortunate.
After Kinkakuji, we took a bus again.
and changed to raiden (嵐電) train which had only one car or two and went to Arashiyama (嵐山) to see the bamboo forest. There were so many tourists there. We saw many people wearing Kimono.
We took 5:21 Shinkansen back to Tokyo.
