THE SABBATICAL – Episode 8: Paper Cranes (Kyoto & Hiroshima, Japan)

The Sabbatical in Japan continues! In this episode, Marlene, Steve & William find themselves in Kyoto, Japan’s once-upon-a-time capital city, followed by a quick visit to Hiroshima at the same time as the G7 summit.

While in Kyoto, the trio knock-off the tourist checklist including Arashiyama bamboo forest, Gio-ji temple, Kinkaku-ji (the golden temple), Tokufuji and the Fushimi Inari Taisha. They also accidentally find themselves front-and-center in a local celebration, sake included.
