Dec. 26th

Tomoko showed a group of 21 visitors from the Philippines around Nara and Kyoto from the hotel in Osaka with a chartered bus.
We saw a Osaka castle from the bus, and visited  Kasuga srhine and Todaiji temple. Some of us got Kakinoha sushi which is a speciality of Nara. Then we headed for Kyoto, and had lunch at one of the very famous Sukiyaki restaurants, Moritaya. After enjoying lunch viewing the Kamo river, we visited Nishiki food market and Fushimi Inari shrine. 

Then we had Tonkaku dinner at Katsukura after dropping by Izu ju, which is also a famous Saba-sushi restaurant.
