Arrival in Kyoto

The 12-hour flight was easy, and after getting through customs we managed to find the right bullet train

to take us from the Osaka airport to Kyoto in 70 minutes. Then a quick taxi ride to the hotel, and dinner at a local restaurant. Now we're struggling to stay awake until at least 9pm so we have a chance of sleeping through the night.  The fun starts tomorrow. Zzzzzzzz.
