Back to Kyoto Station.

Back to Kyoto Station.

  • Back to Kyoto Station.
  • If you want to eat what the Japanese are eating nowadays, go to an upscale French bakery.
  • Time to ZZZOOOOOOMMM on the bullet train.
  • Trying to get photos of the scenery passing us at 180 miles per hour!
  • Sorry about the big black beam in the foreground center (I didn't see it coming). Notice the tall, white tower to your right. Then read what this place manufactures as you look to your lower left.....
  • I guess that a 1-story factory for elvators has to have SOME way to test and demonstrate their product!
  • On the way TO Kyoto, we thought that these must be some type of landscape hedges. We found out while in Kyoto that these are farms for Sencha, the highest quality Japanese green tea.
  • So, if you go to a tea farm in Japan, tell 'em Mark sencha!
  • Bullet train let us off at Tokyo Station. We waited for a "regular" train on into Narita.
  • Back in Narita. Had to visit our favorite noodle shop (Ramen Bayashi). Highly recommended if you find yourself in Narita some time.
  • We didn't fly out until afternoon, so we had plenty of time to stroll through the Narita Village area.
  • This is next door to an eel restaurant, so I assume that Bev is photographing eel spinal cords.
  • Back to the Naritasan Temple grounds, where our Japan trip pretty much started several albums ago.
  • At the entrance / exit there are these buildings with several stalls where they sell trinkets.
  • The "owners" stand outside their respective stalls, hoping for customers. It seems that 99.9% of what each stall has is available in all the other stalls.
  • Once you enter a stall, the "owner" just starts jabbering and jabbering in Japanese while she picks up items off the shelf one by one and hands them to you, smiling and jabbering the whole time.

  • Three-tier Pagoda. You've seen it before. I just can't walk by it without taking a photo of it.
  • The "back-woods" part of Naritasan.

    It probably is, but Japan cuisine, from what we saw in Kyoto, presently consists largely of French pastries!
