Japan Trip - Kyoto (cont'd)

I have no idea what these gals are doing :0
All I know is that they copy that pose from a little gal we met in Meiji Jinja :P
The famous Kinkakuji

It awesome, isn't it!?
Olie and Has posing at the Kyoto Imperial Castle's garden
After Himeji Castle....this one...chotto nee...not so impressive. But it reminded me of Yoshitsune. This was the place where he was made welcome by Miyako (Kyoto previous name) resident when he defeated his cousin....sorry can't remember his name.
An impressive tree ....the one in red shirt is my sis.....

The Arashiyama geishas that my sis stalked upon on.....hahahaha....it was funny :P

The sleeping "neko".....
The view from the "Sagano Romantic Train"
Amazing, isn't it!?
I have no idea what these are called but I find them a lot around Kyoto....
The "Sagano Romantic Train"...hehehe there's one incident that is soo amazing.
When we were about to reach the last stop, the driver/conductor (I'm not sure which one) started singing a classic japanese folk song...after he finished, everybody clapped...it ended an amazing the journey with a good feels for everybody.....:)
The bamboo forest. When the wind blows...the sound is really nice and soothing...
A pose from my sis
Has and my sis posing...with the bridge as the backdrop...amazing place!
The tongetsu bridge in Arashiyama

Kiyomizu dera
They said the temple was built without any nail used for the construction. Amazing, right?
The temple from the garden....in the evening, the temple is kind of eerie....
