JCI Ireland Blog

Hi all :) I have been in Japan now for three days now Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I got into Osaka at around 3 on Saturday and then caught the express train to Kyoto to do some sight-seeing for a few days. I decided that I will spend the rest of the week in Osaka so it would be nice to see some of the rest of Japan. I got speaking to a nice chap from the city Kyoto on the flight over and I was telling him about JCI and he told me that I needed to visit Kyoto if I got a chance as it is a beautiful city full of world sites of culture.

I got to see some gorgeous rock gardens, Shinto / Buddhist temples and some amazing gardens. On Sunday I caught a cable car up a mountain where they train monks that is meant to have splendid views but the rain and fog rolled in so the views did not happen for me. Have a look at some of the photos below of the places I visited in Kyoto.

I caught the train to Osaka today and met up with Michelle and Louise and we met our JCI friends from UK, Scotland, Australia, New Zealand and some other places also. We all had to meet up for a very important meeting to discuss some critical maters. See the picture below.
