Today we had some free time in the morning to visit Kiyomizu Dera temple, after some souvenir shopping and a quick lunch, we headed back to the hotel to change and get ready for our first official dinner for the opening ceremony for the 5th World Butokusai.

Pictures during official events are prohibited, so you will have to take us at our word that they were truly awesome. A picture book/USB stick will be available to us with official photographs in the summer/fall.
