Kyoto to Hiroshima

Left Kyoto this morning on JR Train 495 to Hiroshima; Kyoto is nice but too crowded with tourists for me. Will spend a couple days in Hiroshima and then continue further south on the Shiksnsan (bullet train) to its southern terminus - Kagoshima-chua. Will return to Kyoto on October 31st for a couple days at my first Japan Airbnb stay.

A kind stranger took my photo in front of a temple as I walked from my hotel to Kyoto station this morning. Carrying about 16 pounds in my backpack, 13 pounds (includes water) in my daypack (strapped to front), and a pound or 2 of food in the plastic bag. This is more than I'd like to carry for very long but Sherpas are scarce:)
