Day Nine - Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!


Last morning in Kyoto. The Shinkansen back to Tokyo is at 12:35PM. We decided to swing by the Higashi Hongang-ji. One of the structures is undergoing some restoration work, so they've built this huge thing around it. To some degree, one can still explore parts of it. Afterwards, we went to visit the nearby gardens associated with it.

Train ride was uneventful, but since it was a nice clear day, Mt. Fuji was actually pretty clear and visible. Not much snow yet on top.

That evening, we went to a Thanksgiving dinner organized by one of my buddy's colleagues (fellow Canuck). There is a restaurant here in Tokyo that's owned and operated by a Canuck. The place is called Good Honest Grub. They put together a Thanksgiving meal for folks here in Tokyo. Na bad. :-)

Sadly, Good Honest Grub has since closed its doors.
