After the aquarium we found an animal cafe with all sorts of animals, from monkeys to pigs, cats to dogs and kangaroos to kapibaras... you name it. A little while later we also went to the reptile cafe in Osaka where we held lots of reptiles. So here is a compilation of us holding or petting animals.

On our last day in Japan we went to Kaiyukan, one of the largest aquariums in Japan. Here they have 2 whale sharks and several manta rays which I haven't seen before in my live. It was a great experience to see these gentle sharks up close.

The last adventure in Kyoto was going to Nara. Over here the deer walk around everywhere, and once they see food you better start running.

Here is the second post as promised. Lots of other sea creatures to enjoy for you all.

As one of the last days we wanted to check out the aquarium we found on our first day here. I wasn't expecting all that much but in the end it was a pretty awesome aquarium. The dolphin show was fun and the other animals were all viewable up close. I will make another post about this tomorrow since my phone died halfway through the aquarium and the other pictures are on another device.

After monkey mountain we visited the bamboo forest and some of the shrines located near it. As this was our last day with Stef we climbed the daimonji. On top you had the best view of Kyoto. We went in the evening to see all of the city lights and this is by far the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

This day shall be called monkey day. Or not since we also did a lot of other stuff. But yeah... We climbed to the top of the mountain to watch and feed the monkeys that live there. Pretty cool to see.

Next day was Niji castle + Mangamuseum day. Unfortunately after the museum we felt a bit sick and went back to the hotel instead of going to the imperial Castle as planned.

As all the Sakura was falling off we went to the Philosophers path to see the very last few of them and of course to have a nice walk to clear our minds :)

Yasaka shrine was our last stop for the day which was totally lit up at night. There were food stalls everywhere and people picnicking/drinking with friends in the park.

After the temple we went into the shopping district of Kyoto. We knew there were some animal cafes here so we went to the Shiba cafe and the Bengal cat Cafe. Both really fun experiences and once again they take good care of their animals.

We haven't really done a whole lot in our last days of Tokyo except packing suitcases to go to Kyoto so I will go straight to that part. Day 2 in Kyoto we went to a lot of different places like the fushimi inari temple with it's 1000 gates.

Third stop was a small town where people used to wash themselves before climbing mount Fuji, this was to ensure their safe return. Fourth one isn't on the pictures but we went to a 4D ride over mount Fuji which was epic. Last stop was on the mountain itself, unfortunately we couldn't go up to the fifth point on the mountain because there was too much snow so we went to the fourth stop which was 2020 meters high. It was impressive to walk around there even though it was a pretty busy tourist spot.

First part of mount Fuji day is our first and second stop of the trip which were: a lake of which I forgot the name and ninja village. We took some nice pictures at the lake and at the ninja village too. We also had our lunch in the village where it was more of a buffet than a lunch.

Our plan today was harajuku to go for some shopping but it was such I busy Street and the shops were all so expensive that we gave up after an hour or so... Instead we went to the other side of the station and into the park to see the temple there. We payed our respects and hung a wish on the sacred tree. Not much else today but that's ok since tomorrow is mount Fuji day 😀

Today Rory and I met up with a friend from discord who lives in Tokyo, the three of us went to a big temple and got our fortunes there. We also traveled to Shibuya and Shinjuku where we drank a beer in a local bar and took pictures at the Hachiko statue. At the end of the day we managed to make a reservation for Rory's favourite restaurant. Here you could rent a fishing rod and try to catch your own fish, the cooks then prepared that fish however you wanted. Rory caught a red seabream and I caught a tiger shrimp ( because I don't really like fish all that much ). So the picture on the left below the fishing pictures is my shrimp/prawn and on the right Rory's fish half deep fried and half sushi.
