Took a Shinkan sen (bullet train) from Tokyo to Kyoto. After we checked in the hotel, went to Daitoku ji to visit Hideyoshi's graveyard. Hideyoshi is Steven's one of the favorite Japanese Shoguns. BUT found out his gravveyard was not there!!! Instead, we found the temple where Matsu (
Toshiie's wife) spend her final life and a place related to
Hosokawa Gracia so it was good to visit there anyway.
It has pretty gardens as well.
2007 is Wild boar year, Steven's sign, too. We took a lot of pictures of him and wild boar
here ,
there and
everywhere. It is going to be a great year!! We walked along Kamo River and had dinner in Ponto-Cho. We had great Kyoto Style Tofu dishes but forgot taking pictures...
