We are walking down
the street towards Yasaka Shrine.
And actually in Kyoto,
this is more for the ladies, but
Kyoto you can actually...
There's a place around here... I can't remember where it's at.
You can dress up in kimono,
and walk around town.
As you can see behind me.
We're going to Yasaka Jinja (shrine)
which is
pretty famous.
It's over 1400 hundred years old....
1300 years old.
And probably one of the more famous shrines in Kyoto.
Check it out.
I just love the colors. Super bright!
Considering how old it is.
We're gonna go inside there.
Tell you a little more about it when we get inside.
There's a lot of yukatas right now.
Some people are just wearing them
for the fun of it. And some people are probably doing it because
they're visiting from other
parts of Japan or other countries.
Niiiiice!
Also, in Kyoto, there's a lot of
people that come here
for school trips, kind of like field trips.
So you'll see a lot of
elementary school, junior high school,
and high school kids.
elementary school not so much, mostly junior high and high school.
Which honestly sounds awesome,
because in Kansas we didn't really have...
Did you have any good field trips, when you were in Oklahoma?
What was like the best field trip you ever took?
Had a field trip outside once.
You just walked outside?
That's called recess, Dillon!
I think I went to a museum in Kansas.
yay......
But, in Japan, especially
people in Tokyo, they sometimes take a
school trip all the way to Kyoto.
And people in Kyoto will take a school trip
to Tokyo.
We're gonna
walk up these bad boys and see what we got.
Wooooooww
This is actually one of the few places I haven't been to in Kyoto.
A lot of shrines and temples
have yatais which are
basically food stands
sitting out in front.
You can get all sorts of...
Oooh, crab sticks! That sounds AWESOME!
So the best food I've had was at yatais.
Wa~gyuu~kushi~yaki
That's like Japanese beef....
Beef Stick!
So we are inside Yasaka Shrine.
Wooooooooo!!!!
Those girls were totally uh..
wondering what I was doing.
They're looking at me like I am crazy.
Talking to the camera.
It's really cool.
Shrine over here where you can pray to the gods.
So I believe, if I remember correctly...
You throw a coin in... Shake Shake Shake.
Clap clap I believe.
Ok sorry, Twice! Twice!
Time to pray to the gods. 5 yen is the best.
That's not a good sign.
Nope?
Apparently I messed up the first time.
Following everyone else...
