We eventually made it back down the hill to Odawara, where we had an hour to kill before our Shinkansen (Hikari 515) to Kyoto would depart. We passed the time in a cafe people watching and relaxing. Then onto the Shinkansen for the two-hour ride to Kyoto. These trains always amaze me, thundering through the countryside at 280 km/hr is something indescribable.
