Kyoto is supposed to be where all culture is in Japan. The guide books get it right. You get lots of neon and big city and then at every turn: temples, shrines, bamboo foresets, little shops, quiet paths, zen gardens. I decided to just wander instead of planning out things to do. I was able to pretty much stumble on amazing things at every turn. I spent about an hour playing in a river, got caught in a huge thunder storm in the middle a big zen garden and I finally found some real veggi food (japan is NOT vegetarian friendly!!!). This is easily a city that you could spend weeks in an not see it all. It has a nice calm vibe that is a huge contrast from the nonstop of tokyo. All of the temples and shrines kind of blur together so I'm not sure what all of these pics are of. Enjoy,
