Rock & Roll Ain't Noise Pollution - We had a great night. Jiro was fantastic fun and showed us a number of bars in Kyoto with some culture thrown in to the mix. We were lucky to have such a good group of people on our tour. The tour officially finished at 9pm, but we all stayed out until the small hours. Top night.
