Got up yesterday at sunrise to photo the sun rising over the horizon in Beppu and made it in time to see the kitties served their breakfast :)

Rode the bullet train up yesterday here to Kyoto, attended a nice reception thrown by some of Akiko's friends who gave us a huge banquet that included a chef grilling kobe beef. Tasted wonderful!
About to head to Shinkoku island.
