Two videos on YouTube today, this one and one of John going batty about trains. You may have surmised that I would try to get some shots of Mt. Fuji, and if so, you were right! Pics and video (all of them) are up on Flikr for your enjoyment. Lots of photos of the same thing today - a really pretty sunset in Kyoto. A couple of the pics came out pretty well, but I have posted all of them to Flikr so you can see for yourself.
Riding the Japanese Shinkansen (bullet train) is pretty much identical to riding the high-speed rail (HSR) in Taiwan that links Taipei and Kaohsiung (it should be pretty similar - the HSR is a Shinkansen-built train). The Japanese have taken it to the next level, though - this country is literally wrapped all up in rail lines, which is nice, makes it easy to get around.
Kyoto presents another fun subway "rat nest" to try and sort out, just when I was starting to feel like I had the Tokyo Metro halfway figured out!
More tomorrow.
