We could tell from the weather forecast it was going to be a damp day, as it called for heavy rain the entire day. Jic met us at Shin-Osaka station as we had travelled in from Kyoto for the day. Even with rain gear we were properly wet (which is saying a lot as a Brit) but Jic kept a smile on the entire time and made sure we got to see the highlights. Thanks for a great day out - and hope you’re finally drying off!
