Day8 - Kyoto >>Imperial Palace>>Nijo Castle (25-Mar)



It was a heavy rain in that morning,luckily we did bring pucho to cover up our stuff...the weather forecast is soooooooooo accurate!
We took buses from Kawaguchiko station to Gotemba and transfer to another bus to Minishima station and catch the next departure bullet train (shinkasen) to Kyoto station. Half day travelling on the road really made us tired but we were glad that the weather finally turn warm in Kyoto.

After checked in to Kyoto Station West hotel, we can't wait to go to Imperial Palace Agency Office to apply permission for the visit but too bad that the office was closed on Sunday. Despite the disappoinment, we were soon enlightened to see so many beautiful sakuras in the garden. It's gorgeous, no wonder so many japanese will take vacation during cherries blossom season. They really like sakuras, you can see many of them are well equipped with the pro. camera and tripod set are busying taking pictures there.
