The Ancient Capital
Submitted by peter on 6 June, 2003 - 16:00This is the most modern ancient capital I''ve ever seen.
Getting off at the train station Kyoto is just like a miniture Tokyo. It''s not until you head out to the hills that anything really looks ancient.
This morning I visited the Imperial Palace here in Kyoto. You need to fill out a form and give your pssport number before they will let you in on the tour. For locals I''m told this can take weeks. Luckily for me foreigners can get approval on the spot, which is what I did 10 seconds before the tour started.
