gold, ninja stars, and good luck

Konnichiwa!  Today, we had a breakfast buffet of Japanese and American food.  It was oishii! After, we hopped onto the tour bus and headed to Kinkakuji.  We visited the famous Golden Pavilion that is covered in actual gold! We also saw a 300 year old bonsai tree and various statues.  Then, we went to the Sweets of Ninja restaurant and ate different Japanese and American foods.  The best part came next! We went shopping! We bought many items from the 100 yen store.  But, it got even better when we visited Kiyomizu.  We went to see the various temples and rang a bell for luck.  We also poured water over a statue for even more luck.  Then, we went through the street shops before heading back to the hotel for dinner.  Whew, it was a long and fun-filled day.
