Japan Days 1 to 8

Well an 11 hour flight meant we were extremely jet lagged。We stopped in Narita on the way to out hostel to see a temple but with the rain, jet lag and 18 kilo back pack it did not seem to wonderful at the time!

Our stay in Tokyo was awesome with us managing to see the electronics and anime district and and a play around with the new gizmos in the Sony building among a few of the highlights. We will be heading back there for the last few days of the trip to see some more. We moved to Kyoto after that and stayed there for five days with yet more rain to accompany us on our trips to nearby Kobe and down to Nara to see the big ass buddah. I think we have walked about 40 Km everyday to save money due a smaller budget after the Yen to pound went down the pan so our feet are now just giant blisters :(

We are now in Kanazawa on the north coast and have missed the typhoon by a few hundred miles but it managed to delay our travels by a day as most of the trains were cancelled. We are in a very pleasant guest house that used to be a Kimono shop and we will post more details soon
