Japan Update Monday 5th


Well, excitement today! I went on the Shinkansen for the first time to a place called Himeji where there is a massive temple. I will create a separate post for the exciting things about the train ride. You can buy passes and they are good value. For 20,000 Yen (about £160) you get 4 days of unlimited travel across the whole of the western region on all Shinkansen trains. To get my moneys worth, I am going to end of the line tomorrow. The temple in Himeji is incredibly extensive with various baileys and fortments as well as the 6 storey central tower. I wondered what life was life back then when death was always just around the corner and you had to kill to live.
