>Kyoto is a lot more interesting place to visit in Japan!
I lived in Arashiyama for years. My father in law lived across Marutamachi street from the Imperial Palace.
Oh, I loved it there!
All well preserved and shiny!
You father in law had a super view!
In Tokyo, they allowed me only a view of a corner of the imperial palace far away from the garden. In Kyoto you can actually visit and enjoy.
Thanks God for the bad weather. Kyoto was the original target for the second A-Bomb, but the weather was bad so they drop it on Nagasaki instead.
