This first picture is just a snapshot of what Kyoto is like. A storybook.
The second is from the top of Daimonji-yama. A mountain in Kyoto. I sat here for a
long time today, enjoying the colours and the view of both Kyoto and
seeing the skyscrapers of Osaka in the distance.
Close to Ginkakuji area. Many tourists during the changing of the leaves season.
So many traditional shops and women in kimonos are know to be seen wandering
the streets here. You can literally walk for 5 minutes and you come to temple
after temple after temple. There are also many school children with their little yellow hats on school field trips.
The antique kimono shop I came across. This place was enchanting. Ladies drinking tea and looking at fabrics. The inside was covered ceiling to floor with old picutres. Such a diamond this place was.
Many of these traditional umbrellas line the street around Ginkakuji. So beautiful. I was
tempted to buy one. The colours are exquisite.

What an gorgeous place! seriously breathtaking! no wonder you keep going back...and after seeing these pictures it kills my soul to say I don't think I'll be going home via Japan. As it stands right now, I'd have to lose my first plane ticket and have to buy two seperate ones to stop in Osaka and then go back to Canada.
I'll try again--if this repeats, sorry. Loved this chapter in your blog. It feels like I was right there with you especially on the hike. Love mom
Bri - no worries friend. I understand. I'm sad you can't come, but I understand.
Mom - you would have loved the hike. It was beautiful. The was crisp, but the sun was warm and the colours - well...breathtaking.
beautiful!
