The story

A pleasant trip to Nara, the ancient capital of Japan, where in one of the numerous temples in the city you can see the golden Buddha, among the tallest in the Asian continent.

The presence of numerous deer was also pleasant; they came up to us hoping to find something to eat.

To reach Nara we set off from Kyoto, another important Japanese city, but one we don't have a good memory of because there we came across a very rainy day.

The journey then continued towards Osaka, spending several days at Universal Studios... and finally to ill-fated Hiroshima...
