True Japan is in ancient culture of Kyoto and Nara but not in Tokyo

Early in the morning a fast train took us away from Tokyo. The trip to Kyoto was quite short and not at all tiring. Instead it took us rather long to get to the hotel. Kyoto is not like Tokyo as there are a lot of great sights. The temples impress and we forget about the Thai Palaces. The Kyoto landscapes definitely prove that the Japanese are also very good at accomplishing and decorating not only designing w.c. rooms. I have never met such magnificence and beauty. It is not worthy trying to describe, you had better look through the photos yourselves. Otherwise not a camera, I present in detail in my blog, can really show the grandeur and the grace of the Japanese landscape. It’s fantastic! There are beautiful ponds full of red carps and gardens with blooming trees and bushes so neat and clean that we were happy to stay here longer than in suffocating Tokyo.
But as we had planned to travel to Nara, the ancient capital of Japan, it was time to leave. Nara appeared a wonderful city but mostly for tourists, particularly Japanese. The color of the ancient city is rich, filled with the group of temples and palaces. They located everywhere: at the mountain bottoms, on the hills over the city and among the trees. Some deer stroll through the city. They put their muzzles into your hands begging for some food and petting without any threat. A lot of turtles swim and then warm on the rocks round the ponds, opening wide their feet. You only guess whether they get warm or dry or both. In an ancient temple we could buy a wooden plate for $7, write your wish on it and hang it on the wall inside there. It is extremely popular with the Japanese. Their requests may often get true I think. Because of that all the walls are covered with these tablets. Now our tablets are there as well, so we wait and see. It is great to watch the city of Nara from the top of the hills. It looks cozy and very beautiful even after a day visit. However to explore every cozy nook of Nara a week can be not enough. Visits to Kyoto and Nara always remain memorable to all tourists.
