Traveling To Kyoto

Their next stop in Japan was Kyoto. Elise and Loriel boarded on the bullet train and arrived in Kyoto in about an hour and soon discovered that Loriel was right, there was a distinctive air to Kyoto that was calming unlike the bustling streets of Tokyo.

The two of them hopped off with Elise carrying a small bag filled with assorted goodies. Elise took out one long strip of gummy candy and quickly took a bite.

"You really enjoyed the vending machines, didn't you?" Loriel chuckled and glanced at his girlfriend.

"They were pretty affordable. Plus it's so varied, there's candy, snacks, juices, and... even vegetables and batteries? They sell everything on the vending machine."

"Japan likes to make everything convenient and a seamless transaction."

"They really do, it's great that they do that and yet still retain this air of culture," Elise said. "Where are we going next?"
