All of the families had a terrific time during our 10-day adventure to Japan. On the way back on the bus, we talked about their favorite places and foods. For some, it was the museum and Peace Park in Hiroshima, for others the beautiful shrines, temples and gardens of Kyoto, and for many it was the school visit and homestay. Everyone loved all of the food!!! We were so busy tasting all of the wonderful foods in Japan, we never even got to a sushi restaurant. Well, I guess we have to save that for next time....

Nara
What a day! We took a one hour train ride to Nara, got to the Todaiji Temple area, and there were hundreds of deer. The kids loved feeding them.
Then, on into the temple, the largest wooden building in the world. It houses a huge Buddha statue. We all tried to fit through the hole one the post..if you do, it is said you will achieve enlightenment in your lifetime.
Kyoto 2nd Day
We rented a bus and visited Ryoanji, Kinkakuji, Arashiyama, and Sanjusangendo. Monkey Park at Arashiyama was the high right!
