The Kyoto field trip was amazing because we were able to learn more about the Japanese culture by visiting the Nijo Castle and the Golden Kinkaguji Temple. We were able to make a tour inside the Nijo castle, what I liked about this castle is that noises come out when you walk on the floor; this is made to know if unsuspected enemies come to the castle. As for the Golden temple, we were not able to go inside the temple but we did the tour of the amazing garden that surround the temple. These two monuments are very famous in Kyoto and important in Japan's history. After that, we watched a traditional Geisha show which includes the performance of various Japanese arts such as classical music and dance. The show includes Koto musicians (traditional Japanese musical instrument), Gagaku performer (Japanese classical music), Kyogen performers (Traditional Japanese comedy) and the Bunraku performance (Traditional Japanese puppet drama).
