Last week I went to Kyoto - it was one of those rare days where everything went well and all seemed right in the world. We spent the day walking around Kawaramachi and Gion (central Kyoto). I was a little surprised to see so many foreigners. Travelling to Kyoto always reminds me of my first year in Japan when I would spent nearly every weekend there near Sanjo and the great river that runs through the centre of the city proper. A beautiful place, but it is somewhat spoiled by the huge amount of tourists that pass through there everyday.
