Good morning from Hiroshima City. After less than 4 hours of sleep, it’s time to wake up and get ready to go. Since this is a very busy travel season in Japan we could only reserve a ticket to Kyoto on the Shinkansen at 7:40am.  At this time of year in the land of the rising sun it’s still dark! Well, better get ready and see what opportunities this early morning departure has to offer me!
