一早的飛機抵達東京約中午，但不巧下著小雨；因為前面幾天住宿位於郊區，便將東京市區觀光行程後移，等幾天後搬到淺草時一併解決。超商簡單裹腹後（我愛超商炸雞跟可樂餅），初來乍到的L先生等不及一睹日本文化，決定在到橫濱check in前，濕漉漉地前往我也還沒去過的明治神宮。 Our flight arrived Tokyo Narita Airport at noon, but it was rainy and windy; cause our first stay in Tokyo wasn't in the city, so we decided to do the city tour later when we moved to the hostel in Asakusa.

東進西出：東京 橫濱 京阪神 在結束澳洲打工度假的第一年後，本打算趁著回台灣休息的空檔以JR PASS環日，但計畫趕不上變化，有位來台灣玩的法國友人L先生加入此行，便將我的獨旅改為12天的東進西出觀光客之旅。雖然部份景點對我而言是複習，但此行的重頭戲—京都時代祭與鞍馬火祭仍讓我很期待；也因為這趟帶了個朋友去我還是做了些功課，以下紀錄給大家參考。 East→West: Tokyo, Yokohama, Keihanshin. I went back to Taiwan for holiday after I finished my first working holiday visa in Australia, one of my French friend Monsieur L also travelled to Taiwan, and he wants to see Japan which he has never been before, I have been there twice but never seen the autumn colour; so I made a tourist plan for showing him the famous sightseeings, and also for the famous festivals in Kyoto.

Every year in Kyoto, the 22nd of October is the most busy day—because the one of the major festivals (Jidai Matsuri), and one of the eccentric festival (Kurama no Hi Matsuri) will held on this day. 在京都，每年的10月22日是個特別熱鬧的日子：因為京都三大祭之一的時代祭、和京都三大奇祭之一的鞍馬火祭都選在這一天舉行。

一覽古都千年歷史跑馬燈 於2013年夏天造訪京都時，深深地被古都的文化氣息所吸引，只可惜沒能碰上任何傳統慶典⋯⋯適逢秋季與友人再訪京都，立馬把在同一天舉行（真是方便旅人啊）的京都三大祭之一的時代祭、和京都三大奇祭之一的鞍馬火祭列入行程。 Vivid, thousand years of Japanese history on the street. When I visited Kyoto in the summer 2013, immediately in love with this old city full of Japanese history. Unfortunately I couldn't catch any event or festival last time when I was there, so I decided to visited Kyoto again and putted one of the major festivals and one of the dramatic festival—Jidai Matsuri and Kurama Hi Matsuri in my itinerary.
