june 1

Day trip to Uji
Breakfast
Kyoto Station train/subway/bus terminal
Byōdō-in Temple
At each temple there are monks who, for a few bucks, will sign and stamp your temple book.  The books are pretty lovely to have, and the calligraphy is pretty amazing to watch.  Link to a video with some slow motion Japanese calligraphy.
