Jae's Visit

Finally Jae's here for a brief visit!!! Yahoo!! (^^)/

We went to Gion on the first evening of her arrival. Guess we were lucky enough to witness 3 maiko-sans at the same time! But they were walking really fast, so we couldn't get a clear shot of them.

The following day, we made a trip to Uji-city for Byodoin, a temple appeared on the back of the 10 yen coin, and also Fushimi-Inari Taisha.

N'Bow at Byodoin.

Mai and Jae at Fushimi-Inari Taisha, a shrine with 20,000+ red Torii gates.

Today, we went to Kobe. Not going to post anything about the places. This trip was for FOOD! haha =P We really enjoyed our Kobe Beef Steak for lunch and bunch of sweets for afternoon break.
