For our second day in Kyoto, we started with freshly charged bikes and went to Nijo Castle, waiting for it to open at 08:45 since we only had time to see it until our guided tour of Kyoto Palace started at 10:00 (getting from one the other took a little while, even with the bikes).
We randomly stopped by a temple on the way to Nijo Castle. Unfortunately, Nijo Castle doesn't allow any pictures inside its rooms, so I only have pictures from the outside.
it was schoolkid week, they were all over :)
The palace is inside, it's big :)
we are so very sorry that we're working on the grounds
the cable, in case you're wondering, is a lightening rod
plums were there, but not in season yet
