Went to Otsu station to meet up with Miho.
She messaged that she had arrived at the station but I couldn't see her.
Next message was the meeting place is Otsukyou Station 大津京駅 not 大津駅! The word baka may or may not have been used.
Luckily the Tim Tams I brought helped with my apology. Good thing I didn't bring vegemite.
I always make mistakes whenever I read Japanese too fast.
A lof of freaking cars.
We ended up parking in front of a super 10 minutes away and walking to Miidera.
Everyone was trying to park at temple grounds.
Kenshin was shot here.
Had a look around, went to a kisaten to kill time and then on to yakiniku! The weather forecast said 30% chance of rain. I mainly wanted to see the yozakura and luckily it didn't rain!
At least until 8:30. Yozakura is always better.
Best thing about Shiga is that its not overrun with foreign tourists making you feel like you're in China.
Love this shot.
Taking a short detour back to the car when it started to drizzle.
Probably the best view at Miidera is just outside it.

dgundam, I can write a whole post about Chinese tourists in Japan. Seriously the worst.
This time it cost me about $1200 return direct Aust to Narita. If you keep an eye out you can get $1k or less. Cheapest return I've ever gotten was $800.
