During summer vacation I went on a trip to Kyoto with a friend.
We went from Tokyo by Shinkansen.
The Shinkansen was fast, and we arrived in Kyoto in about two and a half hours.
We could see mountains and rivers from the window, and it was beautiful.
In Kyoto we saw many old temples.
My favorite temple is Kinkaku-ji.
Kinkaku-ji is gold-colored and was truly beautiful.
I took a lot of photos.
For lunch we ate at a famous udon restaurant in Kyoto.
The shop was small, but the udon was delicious.
In the afternoon we walked around the old town.
There were many souvenir shops in the town.
I bought sweets for my family.
I also bought a red handkerchief for my mother.
At night we stayed at a hotel near the station.
The hotel staff were very kind.
Dinner was a meal of fish and vegetables.
The next morning we went to a shrine near the hotel.
It was quiet and a lovely place.
Then we took the train to the station and went back to Tokyo on the Shinkansen.
It was a very enjoyable trip.
Next year I want to go to Hokkaido with my friend.
