On our flight at 31,000 ft. we encountered some serious cloud build-ups (we were tracking between two dissipating typhoons). Diverting around build-ups is part of the “game”.
Our most warm welcoming in Nagoya with Mickey-San and crew. 
The Bullet Train travels at 185 miles/hour and was wonderful way to reach our tranquil zen-like hotel. The Ritz-Carlton Kyoto sits serenely on the banks of the Kamogawa River and offers expansive views of the famous Higashiyama Sanju-Roppo (36 mountain range). Our room has a great view of the Komogawa River.
Our first authentic Japanese dinner was in the hotel’s Muziki restaurant transitioning us to Japanese cuisine.
