Another busy day.
First of all we got the train to 'Nijo Castle'. Originally built in 1603 as the official Kyoto residence of the 1st Tokugawa Shogun. Quite an impressive place, particularly the Ninomaru Palace which we were able to walk inside and look around.
We then continued on to the Kyoto Imperial Palace where we enjoyed our lunch and watched the world go by.
We then walked for what seemed like miles (!) to the 'Heian Shrine'. Another magnificent shrine.
Finally we walked back through Gion and got a bus back to our hotel.
