Nijo castle & cooking class

 

There are so many world heritage sites within walking distance that it’s hard to decide where to go!  We decided on the Nijo-Jo castle where 15 generations of Shoguns went occasionally to relax & conduct intrigue.  




Later that afternoon we rode subways to find the location of our cooking class in the outskirts of Kyoto.  It’s hard to believe how safe this city is.  We met a goodwill ambassador in our final subway station who believed we were going to get lost, so he walked with us, shaking his head that we would come from so far to cook in his community!




Today we confirm the way to the trails in the morning.  We go by trains down to the Kii peninsula and begin walking.  Just like the Camino, we have credentials to stamp along our way.  Sayonara
