Bah, I meant to say “princess” of course.
Many, but not all, of all the buildings were open. For example the really long building of the pricess (I forget the proper name now). And they had an armour exhibition in one of the buildings that I think was special – just while they are renovating – although I’m not totally sure.
Why we went to japan is a long story ;-). I’ve got a blog post about it (http://woodhill.wordpress.com/2011/04/27/japan-2011/). The quick summary is that a volunteering effort went wrong and so we decided to use our tickets on a *very* brief holiday instead. The favourite part of the trip? I think that it would be one of two things: the very first night in Tokyo – feeling the reality by being in a wonderfully traditional ryokan (and the reality of the first night minor tremor). It was so great to just *be* there and it made that first night feel fantastic. Coming in joint first place is a more touristy thing and that’s wandering around Gion in the evening – I love that area of Kyoto.
