“Kyoto Tour + Nintendo!”
Despite being rained on for our day trip to Kyoto, Miyu showed us a lot of very interesting things, especially about the Nintendo company there. Her Nintendo knowledge is unparalleled, and was able to show us a bunch of different interesting places. She also had some good recommendations for food while we were there. The day ended at the Nintendo Museum where we learned quite a bit about the history. A very fun day!
