Packed bus took us to greet 1001 Kannon statues!

Though the destination is located in south, the group headed north to get to the Kitaoji bus terminal for lunch break. The terminal is kind of center of northern Kyoto city area where you can find Kyoto city botanic garden as well as department stores and other restaurants. From the terminal a packed bus took us to Sanjusangen-do being famous for its 1001 statues of Kan'non, or Buddha of Mercy (shape of goddess). This temple is located 3 bus stops away from Kyoto Station and right in front of Kyoto National Museum. Over 30 minutes packed bus ride gave every student another opportunity of feeling "No More Bus!!!!" hahaha. Every student seems to need the protection of Mercy goddess!!!
