After five fun-filled and frolicsome days in Tokyo we got on the choo choo train (shinkansen) to Kyoto. The sky was overcast so we didn’t get a view of Mount Fuji. The coffee in the pitcha was terrible. Just terrible. I’m going to call it ‘train coffee’. I still drank it though. The little breaded pork sarnie was ok.
If you have a JR pass you can get the Shinkansen (bullet train) to Kyoto – all services except for the Nozomi service. We got the Hikari service from Tokyo station. Very easy.

Yanesen (Yanaka, Nezu and Sendagi)
We strolled from Nippori Station past the cemetery and towards Yanaka Ginza which we thought was a bit of a tourist trap. We sampled some of the street food on offer which was ok.
We turned left at the end of Yanaka Ginza a stopped at Yanesen AZ Cafe which we though was very nice. Despite the coffee not being particularly great and the cake being a bit stale we enjoyed ourselves here. The staff were nice and it was comfortable.
After Nezu Shrine we wandered back to the station via some of the back streets where we found some little cafes, bars and restaurants. I shot a roll of film at this point but we suffered a camera malfunction. A bit disappointing as we had some nice light – it was during golden hour.
We liked this area and we decided we’ll definitely explore it further when we return to Japan.
We stopped for Ramen in Takadanobaba on our way home because we liked the sound of “Takadanobaba”.
