Japan- Day 4

First day in... wherever we are, and I'm pretty excited! First thing we do is take a nice long bus ride up the mountains to a  huge lake where we get on a nice boat. I hate boats, but this time I sucked it up and got on. Dakota and got on the top of the boat despite the freezing wind and was able to see some pretty cool torii gates and a pirate ship looking.... ship... Anyways, After we got off we headed up the mountain to a mountain that was leaking sulfuric gas. Apparently, they boiled eggs in the water that was full of sulfur and the shell turned black. Pretty awesome, but not worth buying them. I was starved and I tried this awesome rice cake on a stick. (Lots of things in Japan are on sticks) I swear it was like dying and going to heaven. I should have bought more. WE took some sort of a gondola thing up the mountain overlooking the lake we took the boat on. It was possibly 20 degrees below freezing so we took a couple of pictures and got the heck out of there! Our next stop was a very large castle (I forgot the name) and I got a few pictures with random people. After that, we saw the bullet trains. They aren't called bullet trains for nothing. They are FAST as all crap!!We took the bullet train to Kyoto where I got another hot spring bath and a kimono that was too small.
