More pictures

So my Japan trip has taken quite a while to get posted here. This is due in part to technical difficulties but I will try to finish the rest of the pictures today!

This is in downtown Kyoto. Many lights and tall buildings. All floors in buildings are often used in a building. That is why you will see signs on a building going all the way up to the roof.

I think this was in Tokyo, but I'm not sure. It could be in Kyoto. Again, many bright neon lights going all the way to the tops of the buildings. It's a lot to look at and take in...

This kid was awesome! He was like 9 years old and is already considered a professional. He has many bands and has been touring all over the world already. He was playing on a street corner with his band as a fundraiser so they can travel. He was really good.

Some kind of weird tower on top of hotel in Kyoto. What purpose does it serve?? No one knows...

The famous geishas walking the streets of Kyoto. They are quite common in the older part of the city. I even saw a male geisha. I didn't even know they existed.

This was at some type of shrine. People come in and splash this water on their hands with those giant spoons. I assume it is to bring you good luck and/or wellbeing.

This was posted outside of a restaurant. A rather nice restaurant on the outside, so this poster was a little strange to see on the outside. And the name of it? Please see the last picture.

Another shrine in Kyoto. The strange thing about these are that they are built in these plazas of clothing stores. You will have a shoe store, clothing store, then a shrine. It just doesn't seem to fit in.

This is the view of the shrine from outside on the street. It is pretty cool looking. Gotta like that roof.

And finally.. the name of the restaurant. No, unfortuantely I did not eat there. I don't think I could bring myself to do it.

Only a few more pictures to go!
