After the Tsukiji Market we went on the Shinkansen (Japanese Bullet Train) to Kyoto. It was unfortunately a foggy day so Mt. Fuji was nowhere to be seen. My mom slept while my dad and I ate some delicious pastries. I got the melon pastry :). Two hours later we arrived in Kyoto! We're staying at the Grand Via Hotel so the walk from the train station to the hotel is less than 2 minutes. The toilet in the hotel room is amazing. The lid automatically opens so when I walked into the bathroom it scared me half to death. The seat is preheated and there is a remote with 15 options. It makes using the bathroom a whole new experience.
A tip for future Shinkansen riders: if you are traveling with other people and want to sit with them get the reserved seating. Also, the tickets are expensive. Three reserved tickets from Tokyo to Kyoto cost about 40,000yen.
