A half day just the poster session in the morning then excursions. We were too poor to get on one so we went out on our own up to Kizoyuma Temple on the east end of town. We had to walk all the way there and it was hot and humid. Not too much of a climb. There were tons of people heading up there so it was easy to find. Once we got up there it was also so crowded, hard to really take in the ancient zen. Still that shit was so old it was pretty cool and there were some awesome views. Wandered around there for a while then got so dehydrated we decided to walk back to the hotel. I regrouped a little then headed out on my own to the Manga Museum which was just up the road. That was nice, had a little time to myself. I wandered around but all the manga was in Japanese I couldnt read it. There were just walls of it, and people were all over the place reading it like a library. Very cool spot. I eventually found the the English section and read some Lupin for a while. A very relaxing afternoon activity. Still hard to believe I was all the way in Japan, sitting in a stairwell reading Manga... In the evening we headed out into Shinto for dinner at an awesome ramen place. It was bumpin around town too fun to be out in the city in the night time.
